Defensive stance and KJ armageddon

[Panzerzug]

We gonna try H KJ this week.

Question:
If i spec for Defensive stance and soak armageddon, does Defensive stance lower only initial impact damage or also ticking DoT?

I do like the idea of reducing damage taken, but dislike the idea staying in Def Stance for a minute, reducing my DPS.

Both but the damage you lose is not worth it. If you just take one stack then your healers should have no problem healing it.

It'll reduce the damage as long as Defensive Stance is active. No reason to keep it on for a minute just to reduce the dot. Shouldn't be getting 2 stacks and your healers should be capable of healing a single stack. As Arms you're also self healing through traits so it'll mitigate some of it.

You can keep it up 100% during first intermission and I also use it for shadow phase up until the healers get to Illidan. Other than that I just use my judgement if it's worth using because if I'm back on the boss before I can turn it off it's a damage loss.
