65 or even 50 mastery is much better than 10 parry. If you do 30,000 TPS (pretty reasonable on a raid boss), 2% = 600 additional threat. It's not worth it. Back in WotLK, tanks got it for the parry, not really for the extra threat.

Burn the heretic!
edit: HOLY CRAP Zakkhar I just realised that thing on your icon is a stone fist smacking down. I thought it was... just a rock. That glows epicness for some reason.

I never raided with a tank in WotLK where anyone constantly rode the tank at 108/128% threat that didn't also have an agro dump, except those silly warlocks in EoE; the sparks in EoE was the only place I saw where threat was an issue regularly with locks and enh shamans close to pulling a lot. The 2% threat put it ahead of the other enchants for threat. Maybe I'm still stuck in ICC (how long did we raid that place) because at that point you'd need a bad tank or a bad hunter to have agro issues =/

Did you say this in one breath? It sure sounded like.
Enchant and gem choice had never anything to do with threat problems or lack of it. It was the playstyle. It was the way of life. Dps were watching recount for dps, i was watching omen for tps.

It was also the only possible way to not go insane from boredom when off tanking Lana'thel. Well, either watching Omen for TPS, or
this

That is great. Some of my guildmates would misdirect/tricks to one of our officers to make her the first vampire because she hated being first (omg the pressure!). Healing wasn't much better, chain heal, chain heal, chain heal, chain heal, chain heal, chain heal...

Wut?
I loved chain heal spam. I still do. Only boss i can pull this up is Lynx though.

I know, but it was
kinda
boring. I had more fun when my guild started having me take portals for Dreamwalker. I could never beat our holy pally but I had fun trying!

Some tanks wear using the Threat enchant. But I was using the BC LW armor enchant for my gloves. (But maybe that was me)
But yea anything that does a % of extra threat is going to be crap in current content. The way that Veng. works for tanks now threat should not be an issue after the first 20sec or so of the fight.

Warlocks have a threat dump, tho?
(I am probably missing something here)

The Soul Shatter mechanic at the time (it used to be 50%) was not enough to keep many warlocks from pulling Malygos before P2 if several sparks were stacked. Enh shamans had a similar problem when Spirit Weapons (our threat reduction talent) only affected melee attacks and not spells, my huge LB crits got me into trouble =O

Malygos (and Os 3d - i was designated for drake adds) made me increase number of my keybinds twice and get some fancy macros (rage dump macros).
