Revenge's 5 second CD

Has anyone wondered why the heck Revenge has a 5 second cooldown? It seriously messes with the rotation since it's not an "even" number that meshes with the 1.5 second GCD. You either need to be idle for 0.5 seconds in order to use the ability, or put something else in the slot and then activate Revenge 1 second late.
Meh, just something I wanted to rant about a little.

Melee attack GCD is 1 second darling. Sorry to totally scrap your rant.

Are you a warrior? 1.5 seconds, darling.
The cooldown is not a big deal. You're not doing SS-Rev-Dev-Dev endlessly any more; Sword and Board procs are going to throw off any "rotation" you try to use, so just punch Revenge whenever it's lit up and you would normally hit Devastate.
It's certainly not a huge deal, but it's a noticeable deal. We don't SS-Rev-Dev-Dev, but we are using a GCD ability every 1.5 seconds. If Revenge is 0.5 seconds from being back up, and Shield Slam isn't lit up, you either need to idle, or use something else and then revenge is 1 second too late. Either choice is a DPS/Threat loss.

It's impossible for both to be a DPS/Threat loss, because either you're waiting for Revenge to be usable or you're doing what you would do normally. If waiting for that half a second for Revenge costs you more TPS than ignoring Revenge all together and behaving normally, then do so. If that ends up to be not as much threat as Revenge would make, then wait the half a second and hit Revenge.
Either choice is a DPS loss when you compare it to if Revenge had a 4.5 CD, and would be the same if Revenge has a 6 second CD.

i actually have wondered the same thing. i guess maybe with some lag and whatnot, it ends up being up very close to the 3rd GCD.
however, the number 5 does seem pretty random and probably just something blizz overlooked.

So you're not saying that it's a problem that needs to be fixed, you just want a buff.
Not saying it's a problem that needs to be addressed. I don't even necessarily want the "buff." Was just commenting that it was an odd number.
I'd say most abilities have an "even" cooldown. 12 seconds. 15 seconds. Most DoT durations are 15, 18, 24 seconds. Then there are the odd ones like Haunt (8 sec) and Conflag (10 sec).

Well, just think. If you spec into Arms for Unrelenting Assault, the CD is reduced to 1 sec! :D
Not that you'd have any reason to do so as an end-game tank... >.>
...but hey! You could do it. ;D
