This was changed in patch 3.2 and took HAT from decent (which it was for much of Ulduar on single target fights) to absurd for a few weeks, until patch 3.2.2 when they implemented the cooldown.

Multiple tricks stack threat but not damage boost. The damage is a buff on the target; the threat transfer is a self-buff. (We frequently have multiple rogues tricksing the tank on the pull)

Even with this, it'd still be great with 3 or more rogues; I can't see how this can go live without (at a minimum) the 1 seconds cooldown going in.

Honestly, if you're going nvHAT 23/5/43 it doesn't matter what the weapon type in your mh is, just that it's slow. You can use a fist, mace, or sword equally.

I suppose you COULD just point out that:

1. White crits don't proc hat now
2. If white crits procced and yellow didn't, that would be a buff, not a nerf.
