Perhaps you just need to work on your ability rotation so that you can achieve maximum damage:rage without using abilities that are potentially dangerous?
Yes, your threat ceiling is set by your tank. But again, an unlucky set of crits could result in your threat spiking over that of the tank.
And a dead warrior does no DPS.

Because we want to do more than just topping damagemeters. Risking for more dps itself that is, not for a better standing. If you are so scared of aggroing that it forces you out of optimum, you might as well reroll a hunter.
When tanking multiple mobs cleave gives better tps than heroic strike, but I don't replace my heroic strike button with cleave when I tank more than one mob. I just hit my cleave button instead. Same goes for dps purposes; instead of totally replacing your heroic strike, better think of a more dynamic method. I guarantee that you will not lose your top dps spot.
If an unlucky crit string is so dangerous, then stay 2 crit strings behind the tank. In theory such condition exists I agree; however, I never died to an "unlucky string of crits". But I never faced an undead whose wotf is on cooldown either.
