Magic hurts the tanks more than anything else so casters are my high priority. I also have improved kick on her so it's really easy to keep casters shut down. Also, too many times the tank needs to move a critter after the initial attack and cheap shot interferes with that.

Aye, very good point on the tank moving the mobs. With imp shield bash I can generally move anything around as long as the bash lands. This is nice since it allows CC to be applied after a charge or damage is done by the tank so that the CC mobs generally have the tank at the top of the hate list and early pops go to the tank. But there are times when you want to AoE as well so moving that mass away from the CC lets you have the best of both worlds, CC and AoE. Plus it's AoE with the tank starting with even more hate than some other AoE times.
This is why I sometimes don't like have a 2nd warrior charge behind the main tank and I try not to do that in the cases where Gnolack isn't the one getting pounded on. But I will fail to communicate that I'm moving the mobs around at times too so I can't blame others for stunning in those cases. :) Moving mobs can also be a pain for rogues and cat druids and paladins and anything else that is swinging at them up close. So I need to work on my communication with that aspect as well. I've moved mobs into hunter deadzones at times too.
