    pallys pulling with avengers shield is one of the most effective ways to save the clothies.  Mage can sheep all he wants after the avengers shield hits, if CC breaks early because of some AOE or dumbass hitting it, it will go directly to the tank instead of the mage.

        "Pull with Avengers Shield? Get real. I am a prot pally and always have it on standby to bail out our casters and healers in a jam. Using it to pull mobs......what a waste of a prot pally ability. "

        That's the silliest thing I've heard in a while.

        I've tanked every 5-Man in the Outlands and I ALWAYS pull with Avenger's Shield.  One of the biggest advantages of a prot pally is the ability to front load your threat and AS was designed to do just that. 

        The rogue doesn't need to use sap except in heroics and even then only if there are more than 3 and there's no other CC option.  If there are more than three, have your shield hit the other three mobs (gasp)... All other CC should be done after the AS pull.  If you use it this way, you don't have to "have it on standby to bail out our casters and healers in a jam" as you'll gain a huge lead in agro from the start and not risk losing it.  Besides, it has a 30 sec CD, use it again if you have to later (I.E. when you break the CC'd mobs).

        Besides, outside of heroics, its almost a waste of time to CC. Spam your Max consecrate and Max Holy shield.  If you're mana starved, you didn't pull enough.  Go get more mobs. Your bored to tears healer will thank you.  You'll move faster, your group will thank you.  Eventually the rogue will give up on sap when you're tanking and just sing your praises.
