No one is considering that vengeance is supposed to help you when you're forced to gear for survival when dps gets higher. I think the assumption is that most tanks will start putting threat/dps gear in overgeared heroics, which somewhat alleviates the issue we're talking about. You won't need the extra boost to threat cause you'll be doing it purely by damage.

What I do see being an issue however, is the fact that you'll be taking more damage because you're in threat gear, therefore giving you vengeance dmg that you might not really need if you can hold threat through dps alone anyway. I assume that the decrease in HP (therefore a decrease in the vengeance cap) is supposed to offset this.

It's late so I may be completely misunderstanding the whole process, but that's the way I see it.
