The prot build I'm strongly considering is 13 Arms (Anger management & Imp. Overpower), 5 Fury (cruelty), and 31 in Prot (with 5/5 1h mastery) and two points to taste - I may go for imp. heroic strike.
It would be my first time without piercing howl in a long time, but given the boost to the non-talented hamstring, I think it would be workable.
For someone who played without Tactical Mastery for a long time (1-60 and many weeks thereafter), I've become accustomed to having it recently. My main use for it while tanking is the ability to switch to zerker stance extremely briefly when I have ~20-25 rage, pop a quick whirlwind with a 2H, and switch immediately back to prot with a shield. Does wonders for holding aggro on multiple targets and the rage conservation means less time spent in zerker stance with the -10% damage modifier.
