I second the use of Taunt mouse-overs. Especially with Unit Plates. Also, I designed this nifty one for Cho'gall:
/cast
This will only Death Grip raid members, i.e. when they're worshipped, and you don't have to target them. Only use Dark Command for picking up Cho'gall/adds.

Mouseover macros work well for a lot of different things, such as Death Coil, Rune Strike (for smoother distribution of threat while AoE tanking), and Heart Strike (same reason as Rune Strike). Not
necessary
, but definitely handy.

Can someone explain to me why having say: 13% parry and 13% dodge is better than 10% parry 16% dodge? Unless I've completely misunderstood and that isn't what has been said...
No, dodge and parry suffer from Diminishing Returns(DR), which means that the more parry rating you have the less parry % you get per rating. And thats why its good to balance the two.

Hi guys, any possibility that the suggested talent tree (the Basic Build) contains only Blood talents and has no frost/unholy talents?
thanks for the great guide

From reading this, is speccing into frost as well better for bosses/soloing (lichborne), whereas speccing into unholy is better for trash with improved diseases/death and decay?
Yeah pretty much.

This guide is outdated and you can thus ignore most of its content.

It's a shame to see parts of this are out of date.

Okay I'm having problems with the edit function, it tells you how much dodge you have after DR and how much you lost to it.
