    No, it wouldn't. On WAR, all those instances are within at least 90s of each other, making the skills have laughable usefulness individually. They're mediocre cooldowns when used alone, combining them all would just give you another Rampart/Shadowskin/Raw Int tier skill to use. Any spot where you're using it for Bloodbath alone will give you the benefit of the mitigation, and a 90s CD is pretty quick in the world of cooldowns.

    Also, burning a 2min CD because your scholar can't mitigate a Shared Sentence on week 6 is a joke.

    Vengeance+Bloodbath immediately followed by RI+Foresight isn't 90s apart. Sure, I could change my cooldowns in there to fit your idea, but then the 20% increased healing is completely wasted. Your idea isn't exactly an amazing cooldown because 10% mitigation isn't much to help keep you alive (Foresight mitigates more physical damage than that) so you're going to stack it anyway. That just means you're losing out on being able to use Bloodbath/Convalescence in other situations (and the 3 separate skills already stack well with several other cooldowns). Again, you're trying to combine 3 skills with completely different uses and that just means part of the skill will often go to waste.

    The more shields we have, the more DPS the healers can do. It costs me nothing to pop Convalescence at that point (and in plenty of other fights since HW release), so why wouldn't I do it?

    You missed my entire point, which is in the basic use of tank cooldowns.

    You use Bloodbath, a skill for self-healing over time. Hmm, I wonder what must be happening during that time? Incoming damage? Mitigation would sure help for that. What's that? Tank damage is a healer's concern? Why not get some increased healing too?

    Every time you argue for using Bloodbath/Foresight/Conval separately, but STILL paired with other cooldowns, just shows how vestigial they are. If they were combined, it'd be a good button for tanks to press. Currently, they're just mediocre and contribute to button bloat.
