Not a fan of how they're setting up active tanking. Prot warriors will just attempt to get 100% uptime on Last Stand, and then depend on that huge health buffer + CTC to stay alive. I expect once Monk skills are public and we see how the Brewmaster fits into the game, we'll get a better idea of what to expect from tanking in MoP.

I'm unsure why CS is a rage dump if Sudden Death can proc at anytime. This will lead to a lot of rage banking, where everything but MS is off cooldown but warriors aren't using any skills because they need 80 rage.

But overall, I'm supportive of the big talent shift. Especially for Arms (and other traditional PVP-only specs), as this means Blizzard has no more excuses to not buff them for PVE if PVP viability lies mainly in the talents.

I doubt CS being 80 rage will last very long, or perhaps SD will have some rage reduction tied into the proc. It would make more sense to have slam cost more since it would be the filler attack that's not tied to any cd/proc, so it would be more of an active 'choice' in the rotation.
