Tanking with Battle Shout

[thalley]

Thanks for the answers
1) I'm not leveling as prot, just respecing to prot when I'm ready to tank
2) Did not consider the weapon procs. Good point
3) If there's only threat on initial BS, then Sunder is definitely king

There are too many idiots who think they know everything. What you do or how you tank depends on the situation everytime. The single highest threat move you have is shield slam. Revenge is the highest threat per rage. Heroic strike will provide more threat per second than sunder. And finally, sunder armor, probably the weakest of all threat builders, is best used when rage starved as it allows auto attacks to continue helping to keep rage up.
If you are tanking multiple mobs(more than 3/4), battle shout once, followed by spamming demo shout and heroic strike(you can cleave here too, but the aggro hold will depend on how strong your dps'rs are)the shit outta everything, revenge and shield slam when up, conc main target or taunt, but don't try to build threat on it as it'll die before taunt wears off or any real dmg is dealt to team. Typically to start though, charge, thunderclap(pretty much useless but I still do it) or bs here, demo, keep hs queud, ss/revenge.
But all in all to answer your question, battle shout is not better than demo shout except the first time you use it.

if battleshout is only applying threat on initial application (no battleshout currently up) then it would be interesting to test a macro that removes battleshout buff after casting (similar to the bloodthirst macro that removes the buff for patchwerk)
