I did calculations on that a few pages back.

Missed that, and it looks good. Is the SS damage you use in your calculations based off PTR numbers or Live? As I recall, SS damage was boosted (well, base was nerfed, but higher after diseases). Might make up for the difference, unless, of course, you were using PTR SS in your calcs anyways (or unless I'm just wrong about SS hitting harder on the PTR...I know it was in the notes at some point!) Also, if it was done with PTR numbers were you in 0/10/61 or 12/0/59? The addition of Black Ice would boost SS damage even more (unless it doesn't affect SS...which I see no reason for it not to).
Whether it's a loss or a gain, it's still a talent I will pick up, and would recommend others to. It just feels a little cumbersome to use in a regular rotation. I still like the idea of using BT for Bone Shield (though there may be some fights where this is unnecessary). If it does end up being a gain, though, I will force myself to use it!
Overall, though, it's 7:20 in the morning and I haven't slept in over 24 hours and I'm feeling cranky and argumentative, half of everything in this post is probably flat-out wrong.
