Cool bro, cept that does not apply to the pull in this thread. You will not charge imps, thunderclap is a waste of a global as you need to hit all imps and they are in a big area.

"what about if you are horde", we answered that already.

I usually top imp dps while tanking them in combined FR+spike gear with the engi shield.
top dps = top threat

You doubt he will hold aggro? Rephrase to I do not know and I will take a guess without math.

After waiting 10 sec you know how hard it would be for somebody to pull aoe aggro before they die, I will help you out so you do not have another retarded doubt.... It is impossible.

A mage would have to do about 450+ every hit on blizz to come close. Only aggro issue you will have is a premature hunter multi shot.

Essense of pure flame and fireshield are effective as well as reflect damage is not resist/immune. But I am sure you doubt that as well.

They were when they had Seal of Fury; then Blizzard destroyed their threat generation in Patch 1.9.0. Combine that with stacking of damage shield buffs on this server (bug) and damage shields not being resistible (another bug) and now you get superior Warrior AoE tanks.

You don't have to generate more AOE threat than the DPS, you only have to build enough threat BEFORE they start AOE that the mobs will die before they pull agro.

If you spam demo shout and cleave (switching targets) for 10-12 seconds your AOE should have no problem killing the imps before they pull agro.

Keep in mind that ranged pulls at 130% of tanks threat. Even with only 4 mages using blizzard they each only have to do 25% of an imps HP in damage. The imps have ~9500 HP so that's ~2400 damage per mage. With Frost channeling and by standing at range they have two 30% threat reductions. So each mage would have 1176 threat on each imp before they die. On top of that, if each mage has salvation or tranquil air totem then it's down to 824 threat for alliance and 941 for horde.

12 seconds of demoshout spam is 512 threat per target. If you land 1 cleave attack on each imp, you should have enough threat to keep agro on all the imps with ONLY 4 mages doing AOE. Realistically you have more than 4 mages doing AOE so it's even easier.

The key is just making sure NOBODY starts AOE for 12+ seconds and it's easy to survive the damage in full FR gear.

I only continue to comment for the horde that had questions, though they were already answered. For alli, pally tanking is the answer, and only need to wait for two cons ticks, 1 if they have force disk.
