To make it work in tank rotation without upsetting the balance too much, I think following things need to happen:
-Remove it from global cooldown
-Reduce damage and increase threat so it's somewhere between Savage Blade and RoH

Functionally, it's a fun ability and breaks the monotone of FB-SB-RoH combo, but it's just not worth using at the moment.
