You're agreeing with us, William. Yes, it makes CD's mandatory. That's the entire point. The Impale and the bleed from the Impale are unavoidable and the DoT is not affected by armor. The only part of your equation that utilizes effective health is the melee hit and the bad luck of possibly having the Impale land near a melee swing, which is a VERY rare occurrence. When he has 4 stack of Rising Anger, you either have a tank that stacks stamina (not armor, not effective health, but raw stamina) or you blow cooldowns. Regardless of which you choose, the strategy for tank survival in that encounter is not to stack effective health.
