Despite the fact that this is the Simple Questions thread, we still expect posters to do their homework and some research on their own beforehand. Some of your questions could easily be answered by looking at the material available on protection warriors already on the forum.

WoW Meter Online - Slints - Threat

One of our tanks happens to be a Prot warrior, above is a parse from our first NR Beasts 25M Heroic kill. He is our best geared tank but he appears to be out threated and our survived by our other tanks, 2 paladins (one considerably less geared) and an offspec druid who used to sub in sometimes. Originally he didn't have the Glyph of Blocking and when he got it (he "couldn't find it"), his survivability seemed to improve. But, considering his gear, and from what I've heard about Prot warriors, he should be doing considerably better.

Could I also get a priority rotation for Prot warriors? I read somewhere that revenge is supposed to be in the mix and that devastate was last as far as priority goes... I think it went something like this: Shield Slam > Revenge > Concussion Blow > Shockwave > Devastate. Devastate is top until you get 5 sunders, HS/Cleave when it's up, and I guess I TC can be thrown at the start.

I've noticed he doesn't use revenge and when I'm healing or just glancing at grid, he takes some huge hits in comparison to the other tanks and like the parse shows, seems to have threat issues. About the same time he got the Glyph of Blocking, we had him respec to his current spec (Deep Wounds). I wanted him to get Imp Charge instead of 2/3 Iron Will, but I guess it doesn't matter and this prot warrior alt said that it would be pretty pointless so I dropped it.

Can I get some feedback on the parse, his gear/spec/glyphs, etc. I'd love for him to improve to make clearing future encounters that much easier. We have Jaraxxus tonight.

Edit: I just looked up his prot spec and apparently he removed his 3/3 AtT... that's bad right? His favorite devastate and pretty much all his threat comes from ap based abilities... unless I'm mistaken
