The older version was amazing if you were off-tanking adds or just tanking in a Heroic. This new one does not provide much for mitigation even on a 1 minute cool down.
Wheres your math on it not out doing it? if you use it over a 10min fight every min it out does the old one by loads because you will nearly always be taking melee hits. the old one mitigated what? ~1.3k every 3 mins, now you can just use it every min mitigating loads of phys. dmg.
If your looking for amaizing cooldowns go blood tank.

at max would only give me and many others ~~ 7% damage mitigation to Physical damage which is not that great itself.
Try tanking Gormok on 25man Trial of the Grand Crusader and then tell me that it's not that great.
Even though Gormok hits fairly hard. The extra armor does nothing against the bleed?

It does help against the bleed affect.
Impale - Inflicts 1,750 to 2,250 (25-Players: 2,188 to 2,812) Physical damage per application every 2 seconds

Physical damage != Mitigated by armor. There exist physical damage that ignores armor.
I'm at 26.5k armor unbuffed. That's around 61% reduction or so. If we look at the lowest Impale there is:
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=66331
which i assume is 10man normal, damage is 1400-1800.
If i check my logs from some weeks ago where i was around 25.8k armor, the impale was hitting me for 1239 damage with one stack.
If armor really was reducing the damage of impale, the damage from it would be ignored and silly.
If we look at the highest Impale:
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=67479
With 61% reduction. (3938+5062)/2 = 4500 is the average; 4500 * 39% = 1755 damage pr. stack on 25man heroic when only considering armor? I doubt it...

Gormok hitting "fairly hard" is a bit of an understatement.
I appreciate Bone Shield is very strong against Gormok but I think with the buff to UA it is less situational than Bone Shield and all-round better for endgame tanking. Certainly against the Jormungars, Icehowl, Jaraxxus (or his adds) and Anub (or adds) I'd take UA.
Actually. Bone shield with 3.2.2 can have up to 100% uptime against worms since they use magic abilities quite often, and here the 6% less from unholy helps to! And not far from 100% uptime agianst Gormok since you aren't tanking 100% of the time.
Rest of ToC is another matter. But Regarding mitigation vs. NB, nothing beats BS. :)
But if NB is causing survival troubles, Unholy is not a bad choice.
