I love DPSing as a tank, I sympathize and empathize with the idea of pushing out as much as you can, and advocate it. But it feels like splitting hairs, having this oGCD here or there. Let's not forget, it's one opener, not a whole fight of rotations. I feel it helps add to the aggro generated at the start, which to me translates to more time being afford out of tank stance and therefore more DPS. It isn't like I'm pushing for a crappy opener either, after all, I'm benefiting from scourge ticks for half a duration before you use yours. Not to say that yours isn't well thought through, but to say what I'm saying isn't bad either.
