I'm sorry, but bloodbath could never save your ass main tanking a savage raid. It synergized naturally with vengeance and OP spam to provide some additional sustain for dungeons, and that's about it. You'd occasionally see some nice returns on crit Fell Cleaves, but that's not Defiance tanking. If you weren't specifically saving it for a huge pull then it was just used on cd or paired with berserk+internal release. Never as an actual damage reduction cooldown (cuz it wasn't)

Thank you for the honesty, though. High dps is fun, I always enjoyed pushing for the highest dps on my dragoon. For tanking, I find it most fun pulling a whole section in a dungeon and reducing the damage as much as possible, or seeing how much I can reduce a tankbuster down to. Shit, I got Titan HM in trial roulette the other day and still had fun IB'ing that tankbuster. So we all have our own opinions and that's fine
