So I recently replaced my Lucky Old Sun with Falric's Wrist-Chopper http://www.wowhead.com/item=50290. Same run, Black Iciclehttp://www.wowhead.com/item=50303 also dropped. A fellow Paladin friend of mine was telling me that Black icicle was better. Now, this puzzled me, as it didn't seem like a tank weapon. At all. My friend insisted that it was what he used, and it is better because you'll hold threat better with it. While this makes sense to be on one hand, on the other, I don't think it's for me. I mean, looking at my armory (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...la&cn=Ironstag) you'll see that I don't have the best gear (GS still under 5k, and I still have a blue ring).
So at this stage which do I use? Is my friend right? It seems to me that his argument only works if I had better gear and couldn't really use the def and other tank stats. Am I right?
