Tanking Rotations in Wrath?

Question: What will my tanking rotation be when WotLK is released? Answer: Based on how the beta looks today you don't have one.

Two Reasons:

1. You're much more likely to be tanking multiple mobs.
Thunderclap has had its target cap removed and it now creates a fair amount of threat. Shockwave also generates a good amount of threat and doubles as an "Oh Shit" button if your health dips low.

2. With the new Sword and Board talent you will randomly reset cool down on Shield Slam based on your usage of both Revenge and Devastate.

Welcome to priority land. You're going to have to watch your cool downs a lot more now. So how do our priorities lay out when we're fighting for threat?

Shield Slam is preferred over Revenge which is preferred over Devastate.
