Deep arms Revenge spam, how viable is it for stationary boss fights in raids?
Exp/Hit/def capped obviously.
Still the worst tank for anything other than speedrunning in raids i’d reckon.
It’s good for anub and faerlina, but you kinda get smoked on every other boss and barely gain benefit from it. Prot has more control on big packs of trash as well
Good on bosses like patch anub and faerlina and can be managed if you are super confident and know what makes your specc strong. If you dont know how to get off that first revenge you are griefing.
deep arms prot warriors are the worst for boss tanking. They are great in heroics cuz of the cleave threat but the moment they tank a boss, they do 0 threat.
Deep prot, brings sunders and a overall good bit more defenses (not much but note worthy enough now that progression is gonna happen again and it suddenly matters).
Otherwise if the boss has a fast Attack speed and or there is any form of cleave, it is the nr 1 tank dps hyrid by miles, like nothing even comes remotely close to it.
This spec is hitting 15k DPS on 3 target cleave and this is where the 2 other targets actually die a long time before the main one.
Even patchwerk, which is a high attack speed boss, it is ahead by a solid 1k over the god Prot paladin.
So yes it has its uses, though it will mostly be for Heroics spamming, specific fight encounters and overall just isnt a good choice since (Why would you trade survivability and aoe threat to do good single and 3 target threat in only a scenario where you have 2-3 mobs hitting you).
Overall its strengths are far outshined by its weakness since, pushing threat isnt even needed to begin with so the extra DMG is wasted on tanks atm still, we might very well see it resurface more in later phases too, where tank and dps threat gets worse.

Isnt completely true, but yes if it is a slow hitting boss then they suck, but on PW it still works out to them being the best cause of his attack speed.
Not every warrior is a warrior, my friend, As for stat that is Prio to be capped, besides that, if you were asking how performance against bosses well cant feel more blasting and enjoying 
It has one major Downfall weakness, let’s assume you entered Nax @Patch Boss and you haven’t mentioned to RL or Tanks that you must be Main Tank To secure a threat.
if RL or Tanks end up being clueless or not knowledgable other class performance would only say to your Nax Party “Release and go again” [Hateful Strike].
Build fails immediately because you won’t be having Revenge very low chance Proc’s, As well your rage barely moving wont be able to function which ends up you dying bored waiting for Revenge or Rage to swing and seeing your ally friends die 1 by 1
However, if you ended up with Smart RL that knows how Build works he immedtly would make you MTank and if he isn’t having clue off its your job to notify him/her. Overall be more thirsty makes you to Mtank any boss.
Pm: Maintaine duffs Demo/Sunder/Cd’s, [Critical Block] not mandatory if only your well geared and experinced.
