Quote:7k TPS on Patchwerk on Wednesday, completely stopped attacking at one point for around 30s to let aggro fade a bit, then went back at it and around 8% I ripped him off of the MT and ended up MT'ing him through the end.
My threat is strongly related to how much damage I take, it's the warrior paradox version wotlk. The better my gear gets, the less damage I take, the more my threat suffers, and that's how it's always been. The new paradigm is even worse, as now in wrath since they built up our threat by having larger self-dps, but did nothing about having our main tps/dps move then remove any rage gain we'd have gained by hitting harder.
As things are now though, being a warrior tank is rather irritating. Same tps issues as always (static threat on most abilities) and thus the lowest threat potential in 'regular' gear, having our aoe threat moves on relatively lengthy cooldowns (adds coming into an ongoing aoe situation are a real issue, and I've had wipes this week where if I was on *any other tank class* would not have been wipes and the 'best' way I've found around the TC/SW cooldowns involves 1. a raid situation and 2. 'creative use of game mechanics' (that will probably be fixed soon)), and finally the lowest EH of the four tank classes (Not to mention the inability to currently main tank the hardest raid content, and from GC's comments today, seems that they feel that's fine).
Bleh,

When you OT on Patch do you put on a high block set Frag? I'm usually the MT on our Patch kills so I go with my stam/mit set. One of the few times I was HSB I ended up dodging or parrying quite a few hits and was too rage starved:P
