Problem then lies with healers or your mitigation/avoidance :( Either way Healing isn't crucial, you have to first survive the blow to heal. A lot of tanks miss that aspect. I've personally died to 18 damage overkill... Healing would not have saved me :(
(even took a picture of it since it was drop dead hilarious, Malygos pwnt me in the face for upwards of 10-20k breath and 18 damage was what got me ahaha)
Staying Alive is crucial but there's so many other ways to manage that. From cds to stats... Especially the core avoidance/mitigation. The problem and sole issue I have with healing on tanks, especially Blood is that they become so obssessed over Rune Tap and Mark of Blood that they glyph for it, spec for it and etc and when they do die. "WTF, Rune Tap didn't save mez?" QQ..... There's even mitigation healers running heavy in raids. Disc Priests are very strong, capable healers in PvE now. Abuse 'em :)
I don't denie that a tanks first priority should be mitigation and avoidance bc that's something healers can't cover, well disc priest can, so can holy priest/resto shamans with their armour boost, paladins with sacred shield,.. . but it's all rather limited compared to what a tank can do for himself.
however you don't have to give up any mitigation/avoidance for those healing talents. if you spec in those they are coming from dps(tps) talents, at least in my case there are no threat issues so why not take them. i admit they are situational and they aren't required in a core talent build. however situational is still better then useless (extra dps isn't really useless, but isn't what i define a role for a tank)
to sum it up it isn't an or-or situation, it's an and-and situation.
also healing could have saved you in the above situation, bc i'm assuming you weren't tanking malygos with 20k hp, meaning you were low on hp and knew the breath was coming so if you would have popped rune tap before the breath you could have survived. i know that are a lot of if's and coulds, but like i said it's a situational talent. one that 90% of the time, maybe even 99% of the time won't do anything but the other 10% or 1% it might just save your life and if you don't need those points somewhere else then i don't see a reason to not take em.
also i see as situational talents WotN, RT, impRT, SD, mark of blood in that order with WotN being the best and mark of blood being the worst.

DW Tank
for the ones that wants to try it.. (aint me, 2 handed tanking will be better seeing the low Hit rating on tank gear)
DW Dps
which i will try out going with 2 slow 1handers. Thinking it might even suite unholy presence.
As i posted in the DW 3.2 thread BS need to be tested out how good it will be to start using plague strike with frost again.

If i see a blood dk using DW i'll jump off a bridge. There's a reason we have 2hander specialization in our talent tree. Unless ur a tank using 1 handers for the defense boost, grab urself a 2hander and stop pretending like ur gonna beast on kids. Our attacks are based on weapon dmg, and last i checked our runes don't CD any faster with sticks in our hands. In 3.2, there will no longer be a reason to see any1 type "but if i get improved unholy pres my runes cool down faster and i can hit em like a machine gun." You're a dk for christs sake, at least try to look like u know what ur doing. That being said, always feel free to do wtf u want; just don't expect an inv. btw minor note - can i get a facts check on the disease dmg rumor? i read nothing about this in the patch leak...perhaps i overlooked it?

with the change to UB will that make it a passive talent or something that you still have to activate?
