Any other comments?

Can you explain why you chose 3/3 Rule of law over reckoning and hollowed ground? Also, what do you know so far in terms of gemming choices? With the change to healing its been discussed that stam gems aren't as optimal as before. What do you think of that and what would you change if you agreed?

Just throwing my thoughts in. Why haven't you reforged your gear for hit/exp cap? also, your helm, shoulders and pants aren't enchanted.

Editted to add: Do you remember Broozer or Simmer or Tythe?

I put all three points in RoL for the WoG crit because when fights go south that 33k heal can mean a lot. For reckoning its seems to proc the same as if i had two points in it and for hollowed ground I feel that the 30sec CD on consecration made the talent not really worth it.

In terms of gemming choices I've been been using the +20master+30stam gems because it seems to work well with are Vengeance buff.I also use that gem choice because some dmg in boss fights are unavoidable like Flame Breath and parry/dodge can do so much till diminishing returns.

What I would do to change my gemming choice is to but take out some pure stam gems and put in some Mastery.

I still need to reforged my gear for hit/exp, as for my helm and shoulders I'm still grinding rep to get them but I can always use the wrath ones for the time being. ( I need to have a look at the AH for me leg enchant )

sadly I don't remember Broozer, Simmer or Tythe
alts of yours? Lol

not alts of mine, my brother in law and my sister. I'm pretty sure they were in Bad Karma awhile back, but they don't remember.
also, reforge is your best friend imo

I actually haven't thought of having stam for the bonus vengeance before. Sounds like it might be good depending on whether or not you need the bonus threat.

Anyway, I think it looks like a pretty solid app. Just one last thing: we currently have far more tanks than tank spots. Are you ok with waiting a while to get a spot as a tank?

Vengeance stacks higher based on your stamina. However, I have YET to ever see a tank manage to keep it at a full stack, therefore making stamina useless for threat. It can actually hurt you because vengeance stacks decay faster the higher it get stacked, so if you spike it for a split second, you'll lose AP quicker as it falls off.

Yeah, you'd get more threat out of getting hit and expertise capped. Vengeance is cool for threat and all and the extra health will help you live, but if you can't hit anything your threat is always going to be low.

I'm ok with waiting
