With buff on devastate, wearing 2 pieces of t7,5 tank (for +10%dmg shieldslam) and 2 pieces of t 8,5 tank (for 10% crit with devastate) and rest as plate dps gear (assume hit capped, soft expertise capped, loads of strength, fair amount of crit) In a deep wounds build.
Battle or zerker stance, attacking from behind a boss, spamming devastate and shieldslam, using shield block, cc blow, shockwave when of cd, and hs as rage dump (dont think there would be much hsing tbh) when unlimited rage.
Can it be done? Anyone dare to venture a rough estimate about how much dps could be done with really good gear?

1500 Devastates, 3300 Devastate Crits
2700 Shield Slams, 6000 Shield Slam Crits
550 Melee Hits, 1200 Melee Crits
That's in 2 piece T7.5, 2 piece T8.5, and the rest in my arms gear, battle stance. On a dummy after a few minutes I was sitting at 2200 DPS.
So no, I don't think so. I would test verses arms, but it's broken on the PTR right now. TfB and Sudden Death aren't working on the dummy, and I can't find Mortal Strike in my spell booke...
But no, the Devastate change is a nice little bump for Prot DPS and threat, but it's nothing game changing I don't think.

Cool. may i ask what weapon you used? I would like to get my hands on broken promises for this, but i might have to settle with using a ridicoulous muppet from CoT.

But this time Devastate will require a shield to be equipped, so it won't be appealing to fury warriors.

Block values appears to be doubled. In blue block gear, soloing, I was able to 'double crit' 10k with shield slam. Back in the days I was impressed a tank could oneshot a level 78 mob.
I wonder what it will hit for in T9 with buffs of a 25 man raid.
