I can't recall, I haven't played WoW since mid Cata (at which time I was a DK tank). All I can remember was that DS could be made to hit pretty hard, and it would heal you based on the damage, and then ALSO give you a shield. I messed that up in the post you quoted, but was too lazy to change it; I meant inner beast should heal AND give an absorb shield. Although I do realize Inner Beast isn't the low man on the totem pole for us as is, and even that fix wouldn't be enough. But the absorb shield could buffer the loss of the 15% healing from wrath stacks while you built them back up.
