Revenge Buff

So... that revenge buff.
Wow, how ridiculous is this thing, right? Over a normal heroic run, revenge ended up bring my top damage dealer. As a test I went to kill Jotun, the big elite guy that walks the stone path at the north end of Dragonblight. This is totally unbuffed in my full "raid tank" step (so all the max armor gear, using Last Word).
4k average revenge, 8600 revenge crits. 2k devastate hits, 4400 devastate crits. 3k average shield slam with one 7k shield slam crit. Heroic Strikes were 1100 with 2400 crits.
I mean really? Revenge was like 28% of my overall damage, and that's just single target.
Unfortunately my raid was canceled tonight, so I can't wait until tomorrow to see what boss damage looks like, now that I've put Revenge back on my bars.
The AP scaling is sick now. Instead of 0.207 from before, it's 0.3105, but you can consider the 60% from 2/2 Imp Revenge as well, for a total 0.4968 Damage per AP. That means Revenge will scale even more with buffs, as opposed to Shield Slam (which doesn't hardly scale at all), and Devastate (normalized attack, so 0.17 AP scaling).
The only thing that sucks just a tiny bit is that the crit rate isn't buffed by any of our talents, so it's the meager 5% unbuffed crit. Oh well, you can't have everything I suppose.
So yeah. Go go revenge buff.

Losing the stun doesn't matter. I mean really. It's only useful in PvE if you were soloing stunnable elites (do you really need that stun for elites anyway?) and was rather useful in PvP but the damage gain is well worth the loss of an uncontrolled stun.

I was tanking a random heroic PoS (so normal tanking gear but had Kings and Battle Shout), and we were doing one of those blue proto drake+vykrul pulls, and I double revenge crit (main attack+the cleave effect) for
22k
(+DW damage). I was so taken aback, I didn't notice the mage had pulled a skeleton and he promptly died.
Suffice to say I'm going to build a crit/avoidance set and try out an
Unrelenting Assault
build.
Unrelenting Assault is just ridiculous. I'm running it now and am getting from 4k to 6k dps in heroics, with spikes up to
9k dps
11k dps. It's like you don't have to worry about AoE threat anymore, just macro Revenge and Cleave (glyphed) together (and top DPS charts along the way).

I don't understand the buff, at least not in light of the recent shield slam nerf. It's like one step back and three forward. Can't complain about that, but I do suspect this will get nerfed.

So, for us newbie warrior tanks, what would you recommend as the new talent build? Pick up 2 points of Improved Revenge at the cost of what? I'm thinking drop Improved Spell Reflect for this, or maybe pull a point out of Focused Rage?
Advice appreciated.

I was referring to PvE. I think I'll dump imp spell reflect for imp revenge, and have to re-work my tanking "rotation" (not actually a rotation, before someone jumps on me for the term).
