I'm a feral tank and I'm currently running with The Undeath Carrier - if the Origin of Nightmares comes up, is the extra armor on it worth blowing the DKP for bear tanking?
How's about the Journey's End - while I'm sure its a nice upgrade for DPS, it seems like a downgrade for a bear due to less AGI for dodge and AC and less STA for health?
For you bears, what's the better chant too while we're on the subject - good old +35 AGI or does mongoose proc enough to make its burst defense bonuses worth more then the steady defensive bonuses of +35?

Origin of Nightmares - Grobbulus:Construct(H) Best
The Undeath Carrier - Heigan:Plague(H) Better
Inevitable Defeat - Trash Drop:Naxxramas(H) Good
Staff of the Plaguehound - Kel'Thuzad:Naxxramus(N) Upgrade #1
Staff of Trickery - Cyanigosa:The Violet Hold(H) Starter
Those are your tanking weapons.
Mongoose procs a lot in bear form.
this enchant can proc multiple times in a row even on 2h weapons. It does not appear to have a hidden cooldown. The proc is most likely normalized to 1ppm, but not strictly bound to it.
The 1 ppm is based on weapon speed. You attack every GCD. This cheats the 1 ppm system so it is usually up.

Shart I missed that staff on my raid gear list. Undeath one I mean.
And I missed Staff of the Plaguehound. Thanks Lastar.

So the extra AC is worth it - does it still get the full 400% bonus then, meaning a 2800 AC bonus?
Not anymore, no. But the other stats on most of the 'tanking' weapons still make them preferable, and 700 armor is still 700 armor; not much, but 700 > 0.

I'm wondering why this staff wasn't mentioned?

Granted its more a DPS staff then a tank staff, but I think it deserves to be on the list.

It replaces the AGI with STR - unless things change dramatically then it really isn't as good a staff as Undeath or Nightmares since it lacks crit/AP and dodge/armor of the other two.
