As well as if you have a shaman in your party with WF totem down you push even more swings out of reckoning. The problem I'm running into though is that paladins don't rely on white damage to produce threat. In fact they get no additional threat from white damage at all. Because of the slower TF speed, Seal of Righteousness is more powerful. And the faster blazeguard/blazefury is ~5-7 or so less damage per swing with righteousness and therefore ~4.5-13.3 less threat or so with Righteous Fury up. What I'm having trouble with the math though is does 1 point of white damage = 1 point of threat to a class that doesn't have any inate adds or subracts to threat? If this were the case then the faster blazes would be mitagated by the vast increase in white dps over TF. I guess the biggest question of it all is the consistant white damage increase from blazes > the periodic higher damage from TF proc. Also, being a pally, STR isn't really in our sets (not to mention the horrible set bonuses on Prot T5, but that's a different story) so the white damage isn't really increased alot by this. With so few pally tanks with TF it's hard to get much data on all of this. Any input would greatly help.
