This will be a tank's enchant of choice, take it that it will be edited before release.

Usually, Blizzard doesn't introduce new blue enchants just for the fun of it...

The best enchant for Warriors/Paladins on MoP so far. DKs and Druids dont have shields so they will choose better avodiance (i think). And awesome enchant for soloing old content too :) (like Souldrinker is now,but insted of healing you have absorb)

The devs told us exactly how MoP weapon enchants work at the link below.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6397900436?page=8#154

I'm pasting it here in case they retire the beta forums after release.

River's Song: 4 RPPM on melee attacks that land, or are dodged, or parried.
Dancing Steel: 2.3 RPPM on melee attacks that land.
Colossus: 6 RPPM on melee attacks that land, or are dodged, or parried, with a 3-second cooldown.
Elemental Force: 10 RPPM on damage or spell damage/healing
Jade Spirit: 2 RPPM on spell damage or healing, 50-second cooldown.
Windsong: 2 RPPM on damage, or spell damage/healing.

Edit: As of 10/15/12, Windsong and Elemental Force now proc on all damage and healing, including melee, ranged, direct and DoT.

They now trigger on the new "Real Procs Per Minute" (RPPM) system, which is weapon speed and instant attack independent and fully detailed in this blue post.

Edit 2: As of patch 5.1 Dancing Steel, Jade Spirit, River's Song, and Colossus are on the RPPM system also.

Edit 3: As of patch 5.2, Dancing Steel now has a 15% greater chance to activate.

Use: Permanently enchants a melee weapon to make your damaging melee strikes sometimes activate a Mogu protection spell, absorbing up to 7,500 damage. Requires a level 372 or higher item.

I know this tooltip read 60k at the moment, but its the best fit I could find -> Mogu Shield

7.5k damage absorbed seems really, really low. Even with 3 PPM that would only be 22.5k damage per minute. Does anyone know/can they confirm whether or not the bubble scales with AP? (Which would, considering Vengeance, make this enchant much more awesome.)

Just got this enchant on live server and I thought I'd share some info I couldn't find in other posts.

-The buff you get is Colossus.
-The absorption is actually 8k according to the buff text and not 7.5k as the enchant implies.
-From the dummy testing results it is proc'ing pretty much non stop so in the long run it doesn't seem as bad as it looks.

This enchant can proc on spellcasting, i'm seeing it happen when i use healing spells while questing. On Rejuvenation, i've seen it proc both on the initial heal, and on the HoT heals that follow afterwards.

Will see if it gets fixed or allowed in the long run.

This enchant can proc off the deep wounds DoT.

Comment by fofilolipop

The ultimate enchant for solo enthusiasts to date.

I enchanted my enhancement shamans weapons with this for leveling and it works quite well for me at least as I was having issues with surviving so if it don't cost to much or you got the mats to do it may help you get by while leveling that being if your character is squishy.

Comment by gageracer

Colossus does proc from spell attacks but it overprocs alot and wastes its potential for PvP.Since it has 6RPPM, it procs all over again for 5-6 times and does not proc about a minute.If it could wait before the first shield drops then procs it would be the best Enchant for me.

Comment by Maruset

Something that no one has mentioned so far, but: Looks very similar to mongoose!

Comment by oozie

i have a noob question - sorry !

i dual weild weapons - would it be good to affix this to both weapons to get double rate procs - or would the second one not help/count ?

Comment by henslock8

This is posted as of patch 5.4.2, note that the following may be changed in an upcoming patch/hotfix:

This enchant may be considered strong for low level PvP (Best between levels 10-19 in my opinion).
Why? Well the shield proc's incredibly often and almost off of everything (not just melee strikes).
You can have a really good up-time on this shield and at lower levels where health pools roll around 1~2k, a 281 constant refreshing shield is really strong.
As long as you have the shield on your weapon, most spells can proc it (for example, using Evasion on my rogue can give me the shield).
