I personally like the idea of Swipe. I play RUN a lot and I use it as a tank in my events and not as a DD. I'm not sure how other people try to play as a tank but I use /nin and dps is not the way I hold hate. I'm constantly casting and using JA so a JA that allows me to do damage is very welcomed. Against NM I ride my Lounge timer like Seabiscuit. I'm hoping that swipe is no more then 1min recast. With the way I tank that should cement most mobs to me.

Vivacious Pulse I also welcome because self curing also helps generate enmity and helps keep the mob on me. It still baffles me that people are trying to only DD with RUN. It's never going to work that way. With /nin and all the other JA and spells we have it makes it pretty hard to kill RUN with support. And when I say support I mean a WHM maybe having to cure bomb if the mob happens to do an aoe then dispel right after which would give any tank problems.
