You want MoM.
Sure, tanks don't crit very often, but they still crit. That's still a significant amount of free threat when you do and given that several other talents in the Blood tree help with critting on primary strikes (not to mention the desire to keep Bloody Vengeance up at all times), then I'd think you'd be a fool to pass on it. I've seen Blood tanks live without it, but one of Blood's primary strengths is insane single-target threat generation. Why gimp yourself?
Spell Deflection is interesting because it
is
generally a useless talent, but there has been louder calls for it's limited usefulness today being somewhat viable. That said, I still wouldn't take it unless you had three points to spare over anything else. Generally, any time where spell damage is going to seriously hurt you, you should be popping your AMS.
Your healer was a f---wit.

There are no spare points, because getting threat/dps talents is always good, rather than once in a blue moon when spell deflection works.
The order of threat talents, MoM>Subverison>Sudden Death and the threat of Necrosis depends on your playstyle (if you sometimes use death runes for Death Strike or do you spam Heart Strike). I use Death Strike sometimes on death runes, so for me MoM>Necrosis>Subverison>Sudden Death.

I don't follow. How does using Death Runes to cast DS rank Necrosis' threat value higher?

Spell deflection does protect against cone effects.
if thats true it might actually be worth speccing into. might make sindragosa a lot easier

A few days ago a dual spec heal / dps decided my tanking spec was substandard
because he couldn't heal me in his dps spec using downranked healing spells
(pug in CoS, managed until very near the end before I died)..
Should have stopped right there in the Heroic and told him to stop downranking.
Downranking is dead for healing. It has been since, what, 3.0, over 16 months ago as of this writing?
The healer was, indeed, a nitwit.
