It is semantics. :) If a tool is something you should be using regardless of whether you follow philosophy A (sunder) or philosophy B (shield bash) or even philosophy C (shield block + revenge), it shouldn't even be getting presented as a "matter of debate," which the wiki does.
Quote:Is this in the context of 40-man raids? If so you're probably right, if not then I don't think you've made an overwhelming case. If you think Sunder in the Scarlet monastery is a glaring mistake I'd be interested to know why.
I don't. The first thing I do to any mob I'm tanking, 40-man or 5-man, is Sunder -- unless it's a caster in the middle of casting, in which case I'll smack him in the face to get him to stop, then sunder. ;)
(Or, in some rare cases, if I have the rage, the mob really calls for it (the mana bubble guys in DM west are a good example), and the skill is available, I'll concussive blow first -- but only if I have plenty of rage, since my rage generation will be crippled for the next four seconds.)
