OT Aetherbeard's stay here was short.

I believe this wasn't talked about very much. I read through nearly all 53 pages today at work looking for it as well. It has to do with Soul Scream in the 3rd phase of the Reliquary of Souls Encounter. Is it more advisable to switch to battle stance and then back into defensive? The other alternative at least to me was to work on a more effective healing strategy to anticipate potential burst damage on myself from Soul Scream+aura+ ~ 5,000 melee.

I'm not looking for a walkthrough or anything like that it's just that I'm not exactly comfortable with either of the two strategies. Phases 1 and 2 are fairly trivial they're just mere execution and awareness we got through them pretty easily. With phase 3 however I never felt comfortable with at all. Either I would successfully change then swap back(get Soul Screamed for ~35 rage) and dps find themselves threat capped. Even then a few times I would swap back perhaps prematurely and get crushed for ~7,000 and soulscream for 8.4.

The question is should stay in defensive stance burn as much rage as possible (SB/HS/SR+normal rotation) or attempt to Stance Dance back and forth. The guide (The Protection Warrior) was written pre stance nerf correct ? eg. You could drop rage from defensive stance to defensive stance. I realize this is probably little concern for alot of you considering ~15,000 burst probably isn't all to rare during some of the sunwell encounters. My healing corps is much less than optimal than I would like particuliarly for encounters like these. My stats for this encounter so far have been in the area of:

18,000 armor
21.xx Dodge
19.xx Parry
29.xx Block

705 BV With 2pc T5

I apologize for the inconsistent stats. I Logged off in avoidance gear (archimonde).
