However, blowing your stacks while under Berserk + Bloodbath to do a SC will grant you pretty high self-heal which will reliably help out your healer(s). There is no matter of opinion on that, wrath stacks are made to be spent, not kept.

    yes, Steel Cyclone is an awesome skill. yes, you can get an awesome heal return on it. as far as healing goes, this isn't something you can do on every encounter throughout an instance. the most practical use for Steel Cyclone is enmity generation. however, sense Wrath now increases Parry rates, it just isnt worth using the Wrath for what little bit of extra Enmity it will generate.

    the heal is a one-off, a Parry can made an infinite amount of times. i see Parries quite often. i find Parry to be a sound investment. again, it is all a matter of opinion. you don't like Parry? that is fine, others do.

    does it necessarily need to be changed? no, and i never implied so. the skill is great, just not worth trading Parry for Enmity. i don't think it would be so bad to at least see the skill receive a higher Enmity multiplier. it was just an idea. either way, it is what is. meh.
