Yeah, The Meddlers maintain a strict "no drama" policy so I'm not going to name names... but if The Person In Question is as militant to other Tankadins as he was to me, I would suspect he's locked horns with a lot of the ShC Tankadin community at one point.

A little off the topic, this little discussion actually raised another question from me for you guys: If you're uncrushable, critical hits are impossible as well as crushing blows, correct? If i'm wrong let me know, but I never really thought about it. Personally, I try to keep 490 def and 102.4% miss/dodge/parry/block.

Technically, yes: if you're uncrushable, you're also uncrittable by fiat regardless of your defense. It's a good idea to maintain 490+, though, since if you slip on the Holy Shield you don't want to be crittable (crushes are bad, but crits are basically wipes, especially on madness like Teron Gorefiend or even Malchezzar) and going up to 490+ gives you +20% mitigation anyway.

Gogandantes, I generally stick to this opening rotation: SoRighteousness(on trash, Wisdom or Light on bosses), Avenger's Shield, Consecrate, Holy Shield, Judgement, SoVengeance, then I repeat this one: Holy Shield, Consecrate, Judgement, SoVengeance. If you can follow that, the rotation's worked quite well for me, so the one you've proposed seems pretty nice.

I sort of go back and forth on SoV. On the one hand, I know that it causes a ton of hate when fully stacked and if you can "seal dance" between it and SoR the bottom falls out on your aggro, but I can never seem to get it to refresh in time to not lose the stack. On the other hand, 1200+ judgment crits give me wood.

Frankly I always go for my Oil. It's a straight buff to my Holy damage which I know causes double aggro, as opposed to something that may or may not go off. I'd love to see some actual numbers run on it, though.
