So I'm a tank guy, have a BrM, Prot P, BDK, and VDH and before a few days ago I wasn't really digging VDH because I thought the rotation and the CS mechanic to be just a shittier version of the BDK's DS.
Well, that was before I tried out Fracture, Spirit Bomb, and Soul Barrier. Those abilities, especially Fracture, really made the spec fun. It went from my least favorite tank to play out of all my tanks to the most fun. I went from using CS a lot (I hate the fact that it saps all of my Pain if I have 30-60) to barely using it at all, instead I just use Fracture and use the souls to power my Barrier and Spirit Bomb.
It sort of turns the souls into a Combo Point or Monk Chi system, very cool.
Now my VDH isn't very geared, he had about 800 ilvl on Saturday and by Sunday night I got him up in the 845s (also because I unlocked his 3rd relic and lucked out and got 2 860 pieces from the world boss) so I don't know if those talents are valid for actual hard content (M+ or raiding), I did use them to single tank Guarm and Helya, but that was LFR.
Are those 3 talents valid for high end tanking? Because if not, then I will be very sad as they are what took VDH from my least favorite to easily my favorite.
