ok I must have missed that one then, since I thought I read all the changes in that patch.

My next question is less about raid tanking and leveling per se, but it is applicable to dungeon tanking and heroic tanking, especially in today's 5 mans where everything is still AOE fest.

Since Rune Strike now is an on-GCD instant cast ability (unlike before where it's attached to your next swing), and Death Strike can be used on anyone with equal effectiveness, is this a viable strategy for AOE tanking (or tanking say 3 mobs where you need to build threat off the other mobs lest they go to your healer):

1. Apply diseases, pestilence, dnd, blood boil (the standard stuff)
2. Death strike, tab
3. Rune Strike, tab
4. Go back to step 2, refresh step 1 as necessary

Am I missing something?
