Yeah I guess I didn't account for weapon damage, I'm use Diamond Axe currently... but still...that seems a little outrageous. Especially since 'zerk and IR should be CD from MTing. And Storm's Eye debuffs slashing resistance. And my high IB is 1,460 with 'zerk, maim, SE up.

Anywho, sorry to derail. I mainly play WAR but the only constructive thing I can add is that I mainly only drop stance if I have an emergency cool-down on stand-by, or if I have a combo on cool-downs that I can use to replace Defiance. For instance, in T12 I am experimenting with starting a tank swap with Unchained > Berserk. As soon as I come off of Unchained, I usually have 2 GCDs to hit an IB, then I will drop defiance and use Conval + ToB to dps more. It does put a lot on your healers, though.
