improved spell reflect? maxing out shield specialisation?
and
improved disicplines isnt that bad
Lol. It's not bad, it's terrible. Its only use is for gimmick encounters in the style of Sartharion 3D.

you mean in the only encounters where scrutinising anyones talents to this level would actually make a difference? Sarth 3d is the only "challenging" encounter in the game right now, you could run the rest of the content without any talent points probably.
It's a gimmick encounter. It tosses out damage that will oneshot a perfectly geared prot warrior (and pretty much any other tank too), and it is only doable by rotating cooldowns. If things were balanced for that fight, warriors would no longer be a class designed to be able to MT.

so what? its still the hardest fight in the game currently and the only one which requires you to put even the slightest thought into your gear and spec so my point still stands
No it doesn't. Because a warrior shouldn't generally spec for a fight he is not supposed to tank. Sartharion 3D is for death knight main tanks at the moment. Sad but true.
Besides which, improved disciplines still won't do much for you there. You're still at a 4 minute cooldown, way too long to get a second shield wall in during the critical phase of the encounter (when Sartharion is tossing oneshot breaths at you).

except it would be 4 minutes... you dont wait 4 minutes before you use your shield wall you know :P
No. But even if you use it when his first oneshot breath is incoming, the cooldown won't be up in time to save you from another oneshot breath. Sure, you can use it right at the start of the encounter if you like, but you really shouldn't need to.

saying that is like me assuming that because you choose dps over avoidence you would chuck 40 points into arms and fury for tanking. Dont be absurd
You said it again. What avoidance is being lost by taking deep wounds. Be specific.
Also, if you would, give me two specific examples where you would need a 4 minute CD shield wall over a 5 minute CD shield wall. I think you'll struggle to find one. 2 points in Imp Disciplines is 2 points thrown away for nothing.
