Does anyone actually know the threat coefficient Mangle (Bear) gets? I've read x1, x1.3 (on a couple sites), and x1.5 (wowwiki), and I would sincerely like to actually know for my theorycraft.
Also, is it just me, or is Lacerate actually the least efficient move we have among our primary attacks? This is not counting Faerie Fire, Demo Roar, and such debuffs.
It has something like 285 innate threat, and mine hits for <100 damage if I recall. Also, its bleed's threat is greatly reduced. Meanwhile, Maul has +322 innate, and +172 damage, for a total threat addition of ~+494. However, it does reduce rage gen due to the next auto attack being yellow and not white. Mangle is around 500 damage I believe, so that may be ~750 (all before bear multiplier of course).
Oh, and I seem to get "Block" as a result on Lacerate rather often.
I'm just curious for opinions here, as I recently had a prot pally explode because I "wasen't lacerating enough". I kept the stack from fading, but generally favored Mangle over it, and this was a threat starved situation so I really had to choose which attack to use. I kept hate on the monsters just fine, but I'd really like to know if this was ignorance do to the Lacerate's high threat tag, or if he knew something I didn't.
