          Eh, I've seen a mage with it.  No, it wasn't Ninja'd or anything, he didn't steal it from a rogue, no one wanted it, and he's the DEer, so, he held on to it until they needed the crystals.

            Not to many weapons, or anything for that matetr have plus parry on it. Kinda not sure how you cant think that +4 swords is any good for anybody that uses swords.

            Ever heard of this thing called dressroom?
            Anyway, we are freaking mad about this sword, we've killed broodlord for over 20 times now and only one of these babies has dropped so far. Went to a rogue ofc, and for that as a priest i'm happy to continue healing him =)

            Most who have a clue recognize that this weapon is better than Quel'Serrar for tanking, although tanks may not want to take it in order to save their wad of dkp for something better.

                  The speed is GREAT for rogues, as an offhand. This would make an amazing offhand with what I use mainhand right now. (Brut Blade)

                I just enjoy sitting back dual weilding this and the Quel because im bored crapless with my 3.4 speed Bonereaver's Edge and need something refreshing once in a while. Didnt cost me a lot of Dkp and it dropped last night on my guilds first BL kill.

                In all honesty this is more of a rogue/fury warr wep because of the +sword skill. Yes is does have the parry but just get your guild to make you a black guard which is better. Also the +sword skill for threat is bogus just because all the tanks in my guild say they have no problem keep aggro with their quel,blackguard, or spineshatterer. (which is why thunderfury should go to a rogue or dps fury warr).
                So really from what our tanks tell me is that they would rather have stam etc than this weap. Still Don't get me wrong it is nice for tanking but there are better that are easier to get. And to the post above dude I have 4.5k on my ROGUE so really get some gear. Also wouldn't it be nice to have more health when you DONT parry.

                No one denies that Quel'Serar is an excellant tanking weapon, but its cost and availability put it out of reach for some. I don't have one because I have never seen one on AH for a price I am willing to pay, at the moment I am tanking with BL's Defender because I am too nice to take a Maladath off a DPS class who wants it and as of yet only one Spineshatter has dropped.

                And to the guy who said TF isn't good for tanking L2P, the proc generates lots of agro and it slows their attack speed, which makes healing the tank easier. It also has very good DPS and a nice speed.

                I'm a prot spec'd warrior....and ended up getting this sword. After swinging the Quel for +/-8 months...it was refreshing to get something new. I'm loving this thing. I'm an OT in our raids and often end up pulling aggro off the MT since getting this sword. All the numbers and science aside....this sword places me higher in the damage meters, gives me better aggro, and is an all around kick ass tanking sword. I like it better than the Quel and have used it exclusively since getting it. And out soloing.....DW'ing Quel and Maladath simply rocks.
