After tanking tonight ... holy crap. My single target threat is through the roof. I saw 51k TPS once. Consuming the lacerate stacks is the way to go, for sure. Lacerate's initial threat is re-donkulous. I definitely wasn't optimizing my use of Maul, though. Will probably macro it to mangle, like you said.
This is way more fun than DPSing ... is this what it feels like to have a tank class with more than one button?
EDIT
: As an aside .. where the FLUCK am I going to put Thrash?

im having a blast with my offspec bear - threat is great now
mitigation im not sure about - we gained a lot of health but lost armor, savage defense seems like it will actually stop more of an attack but be up less often
i have not had the chance to raid on my druid but in 5 mans i have been very happy with the threat i was dishing out on bosses
i am also optimistic about the new savage defense, i wonder how survivability is after putting points into mastery for even more out of savage defense

.. if the reason for clipping the dot is to apply a 9% crit buff and to use our second biggest hitter?
Yes... clip the dot!
@ lookout
"Need to know" is probably the best option for you.
It tracks pretty much anything, and displays it similar to the timer bars you see in deadly boss mods.
this is my display for
kitteh
...
...and
bear
Mangle is our biggest hitter, and with Lacerate left up longer (even with its sh*tty damage), I
think
we'd get more Mangle procs. But I see your point, foley and parrazell, and it's very much possible that I am wrong ^_^
I actually do notice myself refreshing Pulverize with 3 seconds still left on the buff. Not a major bummer, but I do take away a bit of the "benefit" of Endless Carnage that way :p
About Need to Know, no idea who you're suggesting that to me, it's like you think I'm not used to looking for dots/bleeds/debuffs. I have offtanked loads in kitty, my offspec is kitty (and I was nearly top dps in ulduar ... in offspec gear. God what a noob guild ...) and my alt is a lock (which I actually see more as a second main) ...
But thx for the suggestion anyways. I'm using ForteXorcist though, which has a timer as well, AND tells me when something misses, or the mob dodges, parries or is immune to my attack AND shows me who has SS and
DI
(got removed /sadpanda).
The funny thing is, I don't look at timers most of the time, even if I have them. I'm just so used at looking at the boss bar. I told pelf that in another thread :p I feel a flame inc ...
EDIT
: As an aside .. where the FLUCK am I going to put Thrash?
Next to Swipe ^_^
I had my abilities both macroed and unmacroed on my bars before the patch. With that gone, I have room to spare o_O My lock doesn't sadly, he got more spells now, but no macros that got removed ...
I figured Maul was macroable still, being on a separate GCD. Will be macroing it to Mangle as well! Thx for the macro foley <3
Woops, wall o' text. Sowwy ...

I think that might be the only option. Everything else is taken, now.

So, i did ICC for the first time with the new Bear.
>_>
<_<
I feel SO OP. D: T_T
51k TPS on Marrowgar. 7900 dps on Marrowgar.
On LDW, with 4 stacks of her debuff, i did 11k TPS.
Saurfang... tank swaps... i had to absolutely untarget Saurfang to not take aggro from the OT. Fury Swipe critted for 20k a few times.
Festergut was crazy. 13k dps casually. 40k fury swipes crits (hardest hitting ability, strangely).
My trash DPS was around 11k. I ended up third in overall damage done. D: I was able to casually hold aggro on even the hugest packs of trash, like both the LDW trash packs at once, or the two aboms + their entire crew at the start of Plague.

Thror, huck, I know *EXACTLY* how you feel. I've never felt so strong as a tank as I do now. Vengeance is obscene threat boosts.. my health pool is ridiculous, my avoidance is through the roof, and with a lot of reforged mastery my Savage Defense turned out to be my biggest individual "heal" for the first 11 bosses... trash included.
