When I started tanking, I was Unholy and had MoG for a long time, and it was useful on things like Iron Council where the ghoul could stun the dwarf in case my freezes didn't land, etc. And the more frequent deathpacts were a nice bonus, as were the added dps, but I think it's just too hard to get Magic Suppression and ghoul talents for it to be worth it right now.

I agree... they should consider adding some kind of tank mechanic to MoG. We're not exactly Hunters, looking for a BFF sidekick, but after switching from leveling Unholy to other specs, I've felt naked without a ghoul(s), and Unholy could use one or two tank buffs.

Maybe give us some kind of ghoul's blood presence... give us a percentage of his damage back as health, kinda like a gimp (but mobile) Judgment of Light. Add it to Ghoul Frenzy? I think Unholy is fine on threat, but could use an extra defensive cooldown, why not make it an elaborate ghoul-HoT? But for four points, it better be worth it, because with the AoE reduction coming in 3.3, there won't be much use for GF in its current functionality.
