Greetings,

So, I was on this character last night going against Madness of Deathwing. To my surprise, I was killed by a critical hit as a Blood Death Knight with 2 points in Improved Blood Presence.

It is my understanding that tanks have the 6% reduced chance to be critted to make it impossible for a tank to be hit by one. This understanding may be wrong, and if so, this is not a bug. However, I have never seen any of my 5 tanks get critically hit before.

A screenshot of my active talents and the combat log at the time of the critical hit are linked here:

DKs have reported this many, many times since 4.3. The current work around is to switch presences and/or spec after you zone into the instance.

This finnaly makes sence now why so many DK tanks are hard to heal.
At first I think they are undergeared but when you check there gear it is fine, and in some cases they are overgeared.

I hope they fix this soon because so many DK's don't know about the work around to fix it and they just take so much damage in a short amount of time.

Would be nice if there was a special message about the work around at log in untill they fix it.
