The HB change is really only a minor inconvenience if you're a decent tank. What it basically means is that folks who have a difficult time keeping aggro now, and abuse HB to barely hold onto it, will not be able to do so post-patch and will either have to evolve or switch to dps.
The only change I'm worried about is the nerf to blade barrier (about which there's like 5k threads so I won't get it going here), but in terms of threat generation, dks are actually getting quite a buff, since unholy blight has swapped places with the gargoyle, making for a pretty much constant aggro swarm and opening up some really interesting blood/unholy combos.
We all kinda knew HB was gonna get changed somehow... I'm not bothered by it going way down the talent tree. D&D in itself is a very effective group aggro tool, D&D + UB will be great!
Don't be down..just be ready to rethink how you do things.

Just check MMO-Champion: the new PTR build brought many changes to the Frost tree & DK tanking in general, modifying all previous x% spell reduction to x/2% damage reduction, as well as some glyphs changes (Unbreakable Armor gaining 20% damage reduction from 1% previously), etc.

I wouldn't mind a 1 to 2 rune ability that was a high threat ability. Rune strike is great and it procs a decent amount, but sometimes it doesn't come up early in a fight when you really need to build up that threat. I don't like how expensive DnD is and it seems a waste to lay it down just to get a ton of aggro if you are working on a single boss.
That's the only thing I QQ for.

I do the same, just sometimes you get some top level dps in your PUGs and you're fighting with them the first few seconds. Also, when we are in the off tank position, it would be nice to have something cheap in rune cost that didn't require us being actively attacked to proc and gain a nice bit of aggro. I've never had a warrior tank myself, but I'm so used to dealing with them and telling new ones that they want to get their Sunder on and I kinda wish we had something similar to lay down once a rune rotation
It wouldn't even have to be a new ability, would be nice if maybe a tier bonus or maybe a blatant tanking talent were to increase threat on something like icy touch.
I do fine as is, and I'll do better as I keep upgrading my gear, but even so, would be nice.

erm... the latest patch (12 hours ago) actually made things better for frost tanks from the previous patch.
i should think frost tanks will be very rare post 3.1 is just being silly.
