What is blood tap used for? I am trying to figure out when this ability would be useful. Only place I can see using it is in PvP when your rune cooldowns may go off track and you need to do a FU...

During those times you go for high spelldamage extra damage, which trinkets do you prefer? My guildy prefers the wrath darkmoon card combined with a spelldamage trinket. Any thoughts on this?

Sorry for the confusion, I will try to be clear on my train of thought.

One common argument I hear against Paladin tanking is that in encounters where a group of mobs must be killed sequentially, a...

Fridmarr,
The major benefit of a Paladin's threat generation is that the Paladin can begin a fight at maximum output, and then increase it with Avenging wrath.
