And gimp my survivability in return? I'd rather tell those rogues/hunters to keep MD/ToT me and tell the dps to ask for salvation if they lack a threat dump.
The whole point to begin with is;
if
survive is not in question -> Lets enhance our TPS.

See I don't know maybe its me... I real all this stuff about threat per second, and speccing to max it and run this seal vs that seal... All of it sounds rather crazy. I mean come on, we are tanks here... Why in gods name would we run with a seal that would have a recoil effect when we are already taking a beating? Especially considering the fact its not hard aty all for us to really build threat. Add in salvation if you have one dps'er who is just miles ahead of the curve, and hand of reckoning followed by a shield of the rightous if another sneaks past ya while salvation is on cooldown...
I have to ask, is the SoB/SoV thing more of an alliance issue?
Its an issue with Paladins.

Math is crazy like that. Youre overstating the recoil effect. Its not hard to build thread becuse youre not in a serious raid, plus the game has been ez mode for threat in general upto now. 3.1 is differant. Again, it may not be for you becuse youre a casual player. You wouldent care about any of this information becuse it wont apply to how you play. Nothing is wrong with that, but dont call people crazy becuse they like to see just how optimized they can become.

And as for the SoB recoil damage, I really don't think it would be as big of an issue as everyone is making it out to be. Seeing as Rets critting 10k Judgements are getting ~3300 recoil damage, we'll be getting far less since our Judgements are obviously not that high and I've heard that ShoR doesn't proc SoB, so we won't have to worry about those crits either. So really the small recoil from judgements, HotR, and melee would most likely be lost in overhealing or HoTs the way I see it. And we'll have even larger health pools once we are Ulduar geared making the recoil damage seem even less of a problem. But still, I see where everyone is coming from with just using SoV and not purposely inflicting damage to ourself.
To put this in a differant view, recoil from SoB is laughable. In the order of around 100~ DTPS. For a 35k tank thats 5 min fight just to drain your own health doing a full hardcore rotation without any substitutions.
How much do you think you get overhealed in a 5 min fight? Ever ask your healers? Its in the 100,000s even if they are good.
