if health funnel generates threat now then that's changed. i'll have to test to see if this is true.

And the thing i don't agree with you is about soul shatter. It is a "oh crap" button. During long fights, you can use it early on, after you pass the tank in threat, and maybe it comes off cooldown again. But if you get aggro and boss comes for you, use it. Other classes have means of lowering their threat as well. I've never been cought off-guard when the hunter next to me pulled aggro, boss was heading for him, he feigned, and came for me. I think the only class that doesn;t have aggro dump is warrior, and i'm not sure about the dk's, but usually they have enough armor and hp to take a hit.

Most fights you only get to use soulshatter once. If you're using it as an "oh crap i pulled aggro" button, then you've used it too late. You also dont want to be using it and have it resist when you've already pulled aggro. That's bad raiding if someone uses their aggro reducing ability AFTER they've pulled aggro.

When you hit a boss for 10000 fire damage, and he absorbs or resists 1000 of it, do you generate 9k threat or the full 10k? I't just something i'm wondering, doesn;t really make much difference if you can't determine.

Last I checked that would only do 9k threat.
