Arms Warrior Bugged

Since the Beta of WotLK the “Taste for Blood” talent for Arms Warriors has been bugged. This has been known for quite some time, and bug reports have been made a plenty.
Here´s whats wrong.

Taste For Blood gives you a 100% chance on your Rend Tick to make you able to use Overpower.
This has an Internal 6 Second Cooldown, so naturally you should get access to Overpower every 2 Ticks(Rend Ticks every 3 seconds), disregardingg the first which is after 3 Seconds.
With Glyph of Rend your Rend is active for 21 Seconds so it should look like this.

Rend, 21,20,19,18(TfB OP procc),17,16,15,14,13,12(TfB OP procc),11,10,9,8,7,6(TfB OP procc),5,4,3,2,1,0(TfB OP procc)

So on 1 Rotation it should give you 4 Stacks aka Proccs, but here is where the Bug happens.
It looks like this very often:
Rend, 21,20,19,18(TfB OP procc),17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9(TfB OP procc),8,7,6,5,4,3(TfB OP procc),2,1,0

It basically does´t procc every 6 seconds like it should and is inconsistens and instead of 6 seconds gives you 9 seconds downtime.
This might be because the IDC and Rend Tick dmg do not allign Properly which is a BUG.
I have tested it extensivly and Haste can t be an issue since rend isn t buffed by it, so it might be server Tickrate.

Anyway, this does mean that Arms warrior will have a significant dps drop since Overpower is very important in the Rotation, I´d like to see it changed before the raiding starts since Arms isn t the best dps to begin with.
