If expertise geared tanks can hold agro with weaker devastates (possibly with SS, Revenge, Shield Bash, Dev, repeat with 2x dev instead of shield bash), that's a noticeable jump in raid dps.

Thats actually a very good point. It only costs 2 points to talent, and takes away 2 points from some very marginal poison dps talents. It could certainly cause some strange cycles though. Keeping up SnD and EA wouldn't be hard at all, pending your OH speed, hit rating and gear (2pc T4).. you could probably put in a bit of rupture damage safely too.
