I truncated the druid tank parse so that the time should be the same. Note the bear was gemmed agi at the time and did not use the baradin hold trinket and consequently took more inferno blade damage but less melee and decimation blade damage. I have not looked into the parses too deeply but it appears that the damage is roughly the same. You can look at some of the other attempts if you want a larger sample size, just make sure not to include the post berserk swings on the tanks.

FYI. that warrior tank is a baddie...

Paladins and partially Warriors can completely negate the decimate blade because a block will negate the attack for some reason.

That means that paladins who push normal attacks of the hit table, cannot be hit by that ability and so can warriors, however warrriors have to save their shield block for it, this means that a warrior can choose to only get hit by the first decimation blade and avoid the 2 next, but with bears its 50/50 that u will be hit or not.

I have both a warrior and druid and i normally play boomkin, but yesterday i was tanking on my druid, and oh boy i felt like i was just about to die all the time time, im reforging to mastery currently, but that shouldnt matter that much.

However i dont think the questions about EH should be wether or not you take equal damage, it should be wether or not the spikes in damage cause your healers to use excessive mana.
