Some of you should give Matt a break and consider his target audience. This article is for those tanks that are working on raid content and are wiping every attempt. If you are a random dungeon tank, then this advice is not adressed to you.

My Paladin uses Hallowed Ground, macros Holy Shield, and is Hit and Expertise capped. He also does not tank raids. He only tanks dungeons, and his setup works better for dungeons where the chance of dying is practically nil.

Which highlights the point that "optimal" is fluid and relative to content.

While math still shows Hole in the Ground isn't worth the cost, a fast-paced AoE-heavy 5man is a completely different setting from raid with opportunities to eat mage biscuits between pulls if the mobs all happen to die right after you hit Consecration.
