Defensive Stance

[Olon97]

I generally use a Dark Iron Pulverizer for non-boss mobs, for a shot at the godsend-like 8 second stun, so that might contribute a little.  I'm not sure.  I'll talk to my priest and find out what his talents and equipment is like.

That would make your example something of a special case rather than general evidence of "2H arms/fury tanking is just as effective". Frequent use of the Pulverizer in practice makes healing you more like healing a prot build with concussion blow and revenge stuns than trying to heal your run of the mill 2H tanking rambo.

That said, I enjoy bringing out my Malown's Slam on many pulls, and am ever so slowly saving up the dark iron for a pulverizer of my own. :)
