Is Vengeance (passive) broken ?

Hey everyone,
I scoured the official forums and known issues threads and couldn't find anything on my problem, so I figured I'd ask the experts first.
I rolled a new BE Paladin tonight with the mindset of trying my hand at tanking. I know that Vengeance is a passive trait you get when going down the Prot tree, but for some reason I can't seem to get it to proc, unless I'm missing something entirely.
I'm only level 14, but I have tested a few scenarios while getting mobbed by a few enemies, I don't see either a buff showing on my UI, and I don't see any changes in my Attack Power listing under my character sheet.
Here's two screenshots I capped just moments ago.

Shot 2
If I'm missing something obvious I'm really sorry. Just wondering if maybe "I'm doing it wrong" or if this is an issue that I should file a ticket about.
Thanks.

Without a before/after, we won't be able to tell whether it's actually worked or not.
Having said that, there's a good comment on the
Vengeance
page that may explain your predicament. You're not taking enough damage for it to proc.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

Thanks for the reply.
I had seen the comment, but was under the assumption that because Vengeance stacked, the damage in which you take would "Stack" as well, eventually amassing enough to convert into some sort of buff.
I put this to the test on my 81 Pally and just setup a quick Tank spec. Seems to be a legit theory as I was only getting a buff of 1 AP when getting clobbered by mobs in the mid 40's.
Thanks again for the info. :)

These might be a dumb question but with your add-on do you have the tooltip disabled? I know that some have set-ups that want show some debuffs/buffs unless there enabled.
Also with the Vengeance talent it only last for a few seconds after the damage is being taken. With you being in BoA gear and tanking stats scaling real good at low levels its possible that your dodge/parry/blocking the mobs and its falling off.
Or Blizzard has the talent set-up to only work at 15+ when you start tanking dungeons.
Edit: Vengeance stacks on a % of your health. So the bigger health pool you have the more is would grant for Ap. (As long as you don't go on a Stam Crazy at 85 and gem nothing but Stam)
Its really a nice talent for Boss/Elites that know how to hit. But if your getting hit by a wet noddle its going to take awhile for it to stack.

Yeah the UI and such do show it when it proc's. I have a Holy/Ret Pally I converted and tested it on. The proc wasn't much, but then again it was against mobs 40 levels lower.
I ran a few level appropriate randoms tonight (RFC, DM) and it was working as intended. I guess my concern was about going into a dungeon and being one of "those guys" who had the gear, but not the skill or know-how. Especially for a first time tank. As long as I know it's working as intended, I'll just keep plugging, and puggin' away. :)

No worries, good luck with the tanking!
