So I'm working on getting a second tanking spec for my warrior. I'll be using it for boss tanking during raids. So when I'm thinking about glyphs to get, I've seen lots of folks talking about Glyph of devastate.
A couple comments say that it actually increases the damage of devastate (no, not based off of extra sunders being on the target), and I don't really get where that is coming from at all.
I also don't get why it's good for MTing. Sure you get some frontloaded threat by getting more sunders on faster, but after you are up to 5 stacks, you aren't gaining anything from the glyph anymore, right? Or am i understanding this glyph wrong?
Thanks in advance.

it does not increase the damage of devastate; it increases threat only.

Threat values according to Satrina...
Devastate = damage + 315 + 5% of AP
Devastate (glyphed) = damage + 630 + 10% of AP
Also, note that with the +20% damage boost that Devastate got in the last patch, the threat just got better still. There is no reason to push Revenge now unless you are about to rage starve.
Grrrr. She gets the Scarab, but I'm the one who figured the 315 innate threat and that the glyph doubles it... Hell, that information hasn't even been updated in the oft-referenced 3.0 Threat Values post...
