what other tank has 6 survival cooldowns, 3 of which that have to do with selfhealing?
what other tank has to use 2 resources for half of their cooldowns?
what other tank has 2 different resources where you consume one to generate the other, and consume the other for a chance to regen the other? (paladins don't count, mana is not an issue for any smart tank)
what other tank has to juggle 3 debuffs, 4 procs, alongside the aforementioned 6 cooldowns, 2 attacks and 2 resources?
i personally have so far shied away from blood tanking, simply because i'm afraid to become overwhelmed by the complexity compared to my paladin tank.
