Please fix Blood DKs getting a roll bonus on Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps, or any tanks for that matter.

Dk's tank with a 2h weapon.
Your current spec gets a roll bonus if item that drops is for it.
Therefore Dk's get roll bonus on Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps.


Don't see a problem here.

A 378 weapon that is better than Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps?

Hell, a 353 weapon that is better than Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps?

In case you didn't know, Gurthalak has no mastery, nor any other secondary stat that can be reforged to mastery. It is the worst cataclysm weapon a Blood DK could POSSIBLY use.

Higher item level =/= better item.

No Blood DK worth their salt would use ANY version of Gurthalak.

Tentacles have their own threat, doesn't add to your own. Nothing about this weapon is beneficial to a blood dk. It is a dps weapon and anyone with half a brain knows it.

I would roll on it as a blood dk. Sure, it doesn't help my survival or personal threat, but the tentacle proc is still going to add to the raid's dps.

Perhaps Blizzard should have just added the Dragon Soul weapons from the rest of the bosses to the raid finder loot table and left the weapons with the fancy procs for Normal and Heroic.

WHICH IS NOT YOUR JOB!

Your job is to survive the boss's hits and Gurthalak actually HURTS you over any other 2 handed weapon with cataclysm level stats.

Hell, you'd be better off tanking with Shadowmourn.

I would agree with this if the other bosses were at least as hard as madness LFR. They're not even as hard as the heroic 5 mans bosses, but would provide better weapons. That wouldn't work. I would be fine with it if the weapons were ilvl 378.
