I know it's a nice thing to use for tank busters in Extreme Primals or raids (not that I've done any as a tank yet), but what about dungeons?
    Whenever you feel like it. It's got a low cooldown, so it's never a bad idea to pop it when you think you'll need the health. The best cooldown combo for multi-mob tanking though, is Bloodbath + vengeance. It turns you into an unkillable brickwall while it's up.

    2. I'll probably be stoned to death for this one, but... Should I really use Fracture while leveling? I think that, since I got it, up until I hit Lv. 50... I've used it... 4 times? And that wasn't even until Cutter's Cry... I used it so rarely that I even decided to take it off my hotbars entirely. If I should be using it, where do I apply it? During Berserk, just before it ends, after Storm's Eye?
    Personally, I just use it when I'm dps-ing in deliverance, or when I'm soloing. It's pretty useless while tanking since it uses up an entire global cooldown.

    3. This one is a bit more difficult; How should I rotate my defensive cooldowns depending on the number of mobs on me? Like if I have 4 mobs on me, I start with Vengeance then Bloodbath. When Vengeance wheres off, I go for ToB and when BB wheres off, I got for Foresight. I usually throw IB in when I can/if I don't need aggro generation on other mobs (a.k.a. I don't need SC), and Convalescence and Second Wind as needed. I know it's a case-by-case thing, but is there some kind of rotation for cooldowns in situations like these? Or do I just go full #YOLO and wing it? (Probably a God awful idea, but... it works... some times...)
    There's no set rotation, just use your own good judgement. It's always better to use cooldowns than it is to try to save them, especially since they have such a short timer and they build up wrath stacks. Just make sure you don't slack off on building your wrath stacks, since your best move for mitigation will always be a good inner beast. As you gear up, your incoming damage is going to get lower and lower, so the pressure to make sure you're always using "the right move" is going to diminish. From that point on, the real game isn't figuring out how to survive incoming damage, it's how to dish out the most dps possible.

    But seriously, worrying about mitigation at 50 is pointless. Your best unlocks are waiting for you. Once you've got equilibrium to go along with your Berserk +inner beast + bloodbath self-healing, your survival rating is going to jump from a low seven to a high ten.
