But why would I blow my 5 stacks on anything other than Inner Beast now with its 20% damage reduction if I am tanking.

And as others have pointed out, threat no longer really seems to be an issue with the enminty buffs.

How about: you open with unchained and move into dmg reduction combo's asap 'since others have pointed out' that 'threat no longer really seems to be an issue'. That's one viable way to use it :)

Take risks, try out stuff. Reading and duplicating what others do, will not trigger your inner warrior beast. ;)

@Bokchoykn - Good catch on my poor maths. Still, I can't envision a scenario post 2.1 where I would have to use four Overpowers. I still prefer Steel Cyclone because of the sheer AOE threat it generates in just 1 GCD, and it's not conal and TP-free.

To the people asking about Unchained vs. Steel Cyclone for AOE, just go try it, different strokes for different folks. Some people like spamming powerful Overpowers, I like consoliding threat in 1 or 2 GCDs and then debuffing the more dangerous foes (P.S. the second one sounds like something a tank should be doing). For me, Unchained is to grab threat and bypass DPS checks, nothing more, nothing less.
