I didn't say I actualy swapped in and out of def stance to SB, I was just pointing out you can leave it with 2 charges.:)
As I said though you don't want to do this with a boss that can 2 shot you, but most can't. There are really 2 main types of bosses I can discern: gimmick and smashing. The smashing bosses are the ones all the healers go "WTF your health bar just dropped" to when you die, the gimmik ones that require some kind of positioning, kill order, CC, all of the above, whatever. Gimmick bosses are best suited for executes, and then only to pull out the win from something that is starting to crumble. NORMALLY a raid can do without execute spam dps, but for instance you're trying to get a chest in ZA and the clock says you have 10 or fewer seconds left and 3% boss health, that would be a good time in my opinion. This isn't a 20-0% thing you want to do and if I gave you that impression, well... no don't do that.:P
