Haste for DK tanking?

1 point to this.. i haste tank, but it requires a ton of gear to support it
but there's more to the concept of just stacking haste
you need your mastery, hit, expertise, all stats to be valued rather high
and then you can go for haste over parry if you have all that set
the minimal would be 2151 mastery rating and then up to 3048
after that you require atleast 13 expertise rating up to the basic 26
and yes you do need hit aka your 8%
now my luxery is that i am a draenei so i get my +1% hit so that makes it a little easier
after that i got 1450 haste rating that gives me enough runes to get a high uptime of ds
but i found u need to actual stack a &*!@ ton of health..
stam stack as it would be named to make it viable
the more health you have the better it is.
your deathstrike is based on 5% of your hp. so if you want to spam the hell out of it .. yes this is the way so u have the uptime for the lack of avoid, the luxery with this is that you also gonna generate a ton more vengeance since as a dk this is based of your HP as well.
now doing this math i heal about avrg. 15k hps on a heroic ds boss and this is a minimal
and then next to that because of my higher veng. i easy do an extra 5k dps then a mastery tank.
here's the bad side of the concept.
if i have downtime my shield drops.. even tho i got a ton of mastery it will drop fast and i can't just parry an attack so u will take a ton of spike damage if you are not aware of your cooldowns
you will not be able to recover fast if your not aware of your surrounding and your healers will get stressed out.
it takes a lott of time to learn to control this. me now doing this for the entire dragonsoul patch i have grew a pasionate love for it.. but it is a pain in the ass at the start.

Is it even possible to stack haste as blood? Haste is present on dps gear, if you want haste, youll have to tank in dps gear. That will make you lose out on double tanking stats. Or if you by reforging/gemming tank gear to haste youll end up with too little haste anyway and lose out on tank stats.
Your dps offspecc gear is usually loaded with both haste and mastery...and youll take tons of damage using that to tank.
