Quote:Many (not all) dps classes also have some form of temporary threat dump, so effective use of thier skills can allow them to mitigate most issues of crit-strings, etc.
It's hard to have any realistic judgement on how threat is going to work in wotlk. The mechanic has been revised so completely. But having played a paladin through the Decursive arms race when i saw this change warning bells started going off.
Crystal Ball prediction: This skill will be changed a good bit before release.
I don't see serious issues with requiring people to get Omen (or having Blizzard make a baseline threat meter which - like all the other things they've made baseline - invariably suck compared to the third-party versions) for the expansion. It's lightweight, simple to understand, and unobtrusive. I'm utterly sick of clueless DPS - and even tanks - not having a threat meter of some variety and then wondering how they died and/or caused a wipe.
