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.

I was actually thinking about putting points into improved cleave with my build up there as well. It's a bit easier to control what it hits for multiple mobs and it goes from 50 damage to 110 bonus damage on the cleave with the new rework. But yeah, tactical mastery and anger management almost seem to be must haves for any warrior and I think part of my avoidance of them is my annoyance at that. :)
