Well I guess that answers that question. I must have totally missed that change
That was when it became better to hit Swipe, even on single targets, in free periods between FFF, Mangle and keeping up your Lacerate
instead of just hitting Lacerate each GCD.
Which is a tough habit to break, let me tell you. I still find myself hitting Lacerate on my free GCDs instead of Swipe, but I'm getting there.

Yeah I hear that. I spent all of T4, 5 and 6 Lacerating every free GCD as it was better threat by far than Swipe back then for single targets. It was almost a physically exhausting effort to bend my habits over to Swipe. Like you, I still fall back into old habits occasionally :\.

oddly enough at a high gear levell during tbc swipe was better than lacerate, thats where my habit came from. I just spam it allt he time now, even when its not apropriate
Yeah my guild only got up to Brutallus in Sunwell which wasn't quite as far as I needed for that.

really? I never got past the last bosses in MH/BT and I was past that point.
Mm, well either you were early or I was late. All the numbers I read were based on non-crit swipe. I don't remember what they were, but every time I looked, I wasn't really hitting them. Maybe I was being stupid or something and not looking at it right.

Since threat has gone from being a small issue to a non issue in most tanking scenarios Ive played the devils fiddle and got myself a one-button-do-it-all-macro for all things none boss related.
#show Mangle
/castsequence Mangle (Bear), Lacerate, Swipe (Bear)(), Swipe (Bear)()
/cast Maul
This is with 3 points in improved Mangle btw for those wandering why I only have 3 GCD's before Mangle again :) Its possible just to put one or two more swipes if you dont take Imp Mangle
Spam away and just watch your rage incase Maul starts munching rage you dont have.
