greetings, thanks for the app! you should be aware that our raid schedule is pretty random these days, but theoretically we can use a tank for our monday raid. that said, with 6.0 most likely two weeks away there isn't really a consistent spot available at the moment, but that of course will not be the case in wod.

otherwise everything looks good to me, i've only a few comments:

fyi in case it matters, we are mostly west coast peoples since destromath was originally a pacific time server, therefore our raids don't start until 10pm server / central and don't end until 1am server / central.

this is fine for earlier bosses, but probably not so much for later bosses / progression. i'm generally of the opinion that tanks should tank and dps should dps. if overall raid dps is an issue, it usually isn't the tanks responsibility to make up for it.

i've actually never heard of this referred to as a riposte build, it looks like it mainly ends up being an avoidance build. i generally use a mastery build on my dk since that is what i'm most familiar with, and i don't play it enough to mess around with different gearing strategies, but it seems like an aggressive riposte build would have issues with spike damage. out of curiosity, have you ever solo tanked garrosh?

anywho, track someone down online and we can get you an invite
