Very... Underwhelming, I hope "PTR things may change" comes into play here.
Have you forgotten Haunt and the fact they're making Fel Flame more prominent in our rotations while moving? Probably gonna be the only way we can get it to proc although I'm guessing a lot of affliction locks gonna be going destro or demo now they screwed over affliction so much with the changes to KJC, Malefic Grasp and the way dots+haunt gonna work...

I forgot to tell you this on RID today. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the tanking proc haha.
I wonder if this also counts AOEs as an attack. Something like sprit kings annihilate. Also if they will put a limit on it, similar to priest wings, where the attack cannot be more then double your health.
It begs the question of how highly tuned the heroic bosses on SoO are going to be tuned. It will be funny if tank damage is tuned around us actually wearing the tanking meta gem and having a cloak that cheats death every minute. That will hurt.
Seens to me that the tanking cloak is mostly for progress fights. If you could acquire the melee one easily then i would wear in it every other fight.
The melee cloak seens dependent from your weapon. Higher weapon dmg, more dmg from this ability. Still nice for aoe situation(if it procs right)
The caster cloak depends on the proc i guess. But the 1st fail is the 'direct damage'. I would guess a high proc, so i expect shamans, destro lock , mages and moonkins to have higher uptime.
The healing cloak seems a buff overall. From the tooltip there is no 'chance' and just 'healing spells' meaning every spell that heals.To my ears sounds like a 3sec heal over time spell on every player you will heal.
As a DK tank I tend to be the last person dead on progression fights. Not sure how I feel about the tanking cloak proc. Sure its exactly when you need it, but the problem is, if the next tier is anything like this one, the proc will only be useful every 10-20 wipes =/
I believe in the quests after Wrathion has augmented our cloaks and says "I can't do anything anymore, speak with the Golden Lotus".
That's basically, if my theory is right, that we get our legendary weapon in 5.5 since it would be much too overpowered in 5.4 with the world first guilds etc.
what do you think?
btw: the Golden Lotus quests could be pretty much like the last quest from Shadowmourne, vanity rewards (like sha (of happiness) pet, etc).
Healing one is pretty favored towards Monks/Priest/Druids but good overall.
My channel: Shirgadirth I used to do let's play's but now I do reviews, but not very often. Far too busy from school. Also too poor to buy games :P
The DPS one's going to be VERY effective on my brewmaster.. Like it.
Possibly a reason to go 2H again, if it doesn't combine main and offhand damage.
