OTing Patchwerk, going afk?

So I was thinking about trying this out next Patchwerk fight in 25 Naxx. Since the MT has to maintain aggro lead, and the OT's just have to stay between the MT and the DPS'ers, can the OT's go afk? Patchwerk's Hateful strike automatically assigns a huge amount of threat for each OT each time it lands. Last time I was OT, I realized my threat was climbing pretty rapidly without me doing anything. Don't even have to move.
So essentially, can the OT's on Patchwerk actually just go afk for that fight? Slap on your avoidance gear and just snooze when the fight is in place?

I usually tab out and browse the forums if I'm OTing Patchwerk.

Can they? Sure. Should they? Probably not.
I've gone AFK while tanking Loatheb before. I'm sure it would have been better if I were there adding my damage and putting my debuffs up, but it is possible to AFK certain boss fights (I usually take the opportunity to go grab a smoke, since I can't normally on trash).

It think it's pretty obvious he does give threat on hateful strikes. My threat (along with OT and MT) were way ahead of the dps and I was barely doing much spamming.

I always said mememememe when they were picking the offtanks for Sharaz. Such a stupid mechanic.
That is, unless AFK is what you want to be :).

On topic though, you could go AFK but like others have said, it's not the smartest idea. I've love to see Patch wipe your raid and see what your response it.
Blame the healers of course. J/King.
