Well that's a lot of DK tanking nerfs. Without any compensation this time. I wonder if they're really gonna go with those, reduce hp by a decent margin(should be at pld/warriors lvls after the nerfs in blood spec, less in other specs), armor nerf again(with the current nerf we're basically at shield tank lvl, with 5% less DKs will have the least armor), IBF nerf as expected making it worse than paladin cooldown and worse than glyphed shield wall.

Threat as frost should also be significantly worse with the Frost Strike changes.


Combined with the shield block changes, and the various paladin stuff, paladins might very well be the best tanks in 3.2, the new Ardent Defender looks especially nice, and the new LoH should act as a secondary cooldown. And DKs are most likely the worse with less hp, less armor, slightly more avoidance and same cooldowns.
