What the WAR buff, SHOULD have been.

Thats why a set number of skills work on percentages.

Yeah but percentage of your damage and if your damages are pitiful, they aren't enough. And if you pump up your damage, your defense will go down.

Blood Shield
Level 80 Blood death knight ability
Passive
Each time you heal yourself with Death Strike while in Blood Presence, you gain 50% of the amount healed as a Physical damage absorption shield.

^ This.

Oh yeah, that brilliant mechanic. 2 DKs on 4th boss in Icecrown could stack up huge shields between Taunts and invalidate a ton of damage from the fight. No thanks. You could also Death Strike up to 7 times in a row on a 1 - 1.5 second Global cooldown via Death Runes.

So no, I'd rather not be a Death knight clone. Tanking as a Death Knight devolved from careful Rune/Runic power management and cooldown usage judgement into {Spam Death Strike on one target, drop Death and Decay + Blood Boil spam on 2+}

Why use, that comma...?

Added it too fast, didn't notice it, sorry.
