    Seeing as how you use two Butcher's Block Combos in a row after Storm's Eye means that whatever you do next won't receive the benefit of the Storm's eye debuff.

    It's also worthy to point out that you're not using Fracture, considering this ability deals the same damage for the cost of one global cooldown as Butcher's Block does you definetly want to keep that running. I've posted a thread about the basic single-target rotation and why, go check it out.
    Please read the text AFTER the rotation, it actually explains everything as you just said it. I kept the rotation basic on how you generate hate which can be "repeated" easily. The timer on Fracture is throwing your rotation off, so I mentioned that skills like Fracture etc should be used as the situation fits. That's why I didn't put it up in the actual rotation, cause I wanted to keep it smiple as to "how you can re-create" the rotation by yourself.
    And on Inner Beast I actually explain that it should be used for "oh shit" HP drops to help out your healer to top you off again etc and not just whenever you can. The most beneficial is to actually not get rid of your Wrath for a while at all, which I explained in my guide as well. It's all in the text after the rotation.

    Missed the part about Inner Beast

    Although if you're single-target tanking a boss I think it's rather important to keep fracture up as much as possible considering the damage it deals for one Global Cooldown. Also, the timer on Fracture isn't throwing your rotation off. If anything throws it off it's variation in skill-speed.

    Love your guide! It seemed like everything up till end game was pretty much a cakewalk for me when it came to tanking, but everything now seems pretty difficult for me to keep threat on. I'm definitely going to test that rotation, and maybe experiment with some other things!

    Very useful. I altered my rotation slightly to accommodate for the threat generation. Unfortunately I have not reached the point where I can use Halone. But it's not that far away. I basically just use Savage most of the time unless my magna is low from spamming flash after a mob fails to get enmity.
