Tanks lost convalescence, anticipation, and awareness going into 5.0 Those cd's were helpful when rampart and your main ones were still on cd, and conval was fantastic if your healing was having trouble or was potentially undergeared.

Arm's Length is an absolute godsend for big pulls as it applies Slow to any mob that physically hits you. This causes their autos to move slower(as well as casts) so it will give your healers wiggle room. Arm's Length alone I would say makes up for con/anticipation both despite it only lasting 6 seconds because the slow effect lasts for 15 seconds. That is absolutely HUGE.
