    Tack on a short CD to it... 15 seconds or something, iunno, and it prevents it from being abused for epic aoe DPS.

    edit: could also increase its damage to make it a worthwhile button to hit single target, but if it hits multiple targets, its damage is split among them. Would have to add a threat multiplier to compensate for the loss of damage in AoE situations, but this could be a means of balancing it without a cooldown attached.
    I'm a tank, I'm not looking to unload damage I'm looking to tank. Even if SC was spammable @ 1 stack per use it still wouldn't be worthwhile to use in AoE over a small heal and 20% DR unless someone else was tanking or I out gear the content and if that's the case then why am I there to begin with?

    Steel Cyclone should be on par, from a tanking perspective, when compared to Inner Beast (during a period of AoE) or it will forever be a whimsical button we press for the sake of pressing buttons at a high opportunity cost.

    Also 15 seconds is a lot of time during a fight, especially one involving AoE, a 'short' cooldown would be 5 seconds.

    Having to make up 2 wrath stacks is 7.5 seconds of you dishing out single target moves while the rest of your group is AoEing, again not very intuitive design.
