Anecdotally, I can say that Discipline/Holy pala works very well for 2healing Ulduar 10.

The main strength of discipline is, as you noted, the ability to significantly increase the amount of time...

I tend to go [ob-hs-dc] plus an optional deathcoil when I have the additional runic. Decreases the chance of wasting free deathcoil procs. I found that 2xob, 2xhs was much easier to maintain than hs...

I believe the expertise "cap" is the amount of expertise needed to eliminate *dodge* from bosses. DPS usually attack from behind, so they're not concerned about eliminating parry.

Since the damage penalty to the offhand is a percentage, actual damage per hit is irrelevant to the offhand. If you're speccing for blood-caked blade (which I'm going to assume you are) then a fast...

Shackle and lots of pew-pew is the best we ever managed to come up, sadly. I hope for your sake you get Oz next time you're in there. Single tanking all of Oz at once is immensely entertaining.

I carry Maiden gloves and Curator legs for single target tanking. The t4 set comes into its own more on multi-mob and on trash than anywhere else, I'd say.
