When in ret mode, I actually use repentance as a poor mans interrupt (since it's not being used for CC in most cases anyway). Random question though... why does hammer of justice suck?

I think because it's primarily a stun and not an interrupt, so you can't use it to move casters, and plus a ton of raid mobs are immune to stuns. Same issue that was with Bear Druid's Bash.

It's more that the long cooldown, makes it next to useless for an interrupt rotation. Back when Deathwhisper was a threat, I just had to hope the the other interrupters were on the ball because I was one and done with interrupts.

Yes, there's a CD reducing talent, but it's fairly inconvenient for anyone to take except in a PVP spec.

For what it's worth, HoJ acts as a real interrupt on enemies immune to stuns.

I always thought Hammer of Justice sucked as an interrupt because it was on the GCD, and it's going to be worse for that until they fix their queue exploit prevention code.

Yeah, the long cooldown is annoying, but at least a long-cooldown interrupt off the GCD will actually go off before the spellcast is over, even if you can't catch many of them.
