Also haven't seen the 58-60 abilities yet. One of them is the self-heal that much I know.
Equilibrium is your clutch heal while tanking. At 825 STR so far, it heals normal around 4.1-4.3k HP. With Berserk up I get between 6.1-6.3k. Also note that this heal can crit. So off-Berserk I can crit around 5k+ and around 7k+ with Berserk. Can repeat every 60s. So very OP and very useful. Along with Vengeance, Inner Beast, Thrill of Battle, Convalescence, and Raw Intuition - I have not been wanting for buffs or self heals.
That said... we haven't seen Alexander yet. But I have a feeling WARs won't be MTing that. That'll be relegated to Buffy McPaladins. So we'll be able to stance dance between full out DPS and Tank mode as needed in those fights. But from my experience in the new Lv60 dungeons, WAR is now all about the Self-Heal Tanking. You are absolutely right in that we just do not have the mitigation prowess of other tank classes. Our way to compete, especially with the new Raw Intuition and Equilibrium abilities is just to make ourselves as ridiculously easy to heal as possible.
EDIT: Decimate, our level 60 ability, has thus far been fairly useless. It's a pretty potent AoE (about 1-1.2k dmg to all mobs in a 360 degree self aoe around you) but unless you're Off Tanking and DPSing a lot of trash, the damage off of Fell Cleave is far superior. But again, so far in the game, there's not many situations where I'm dpsing a lot of trash mobs. Maybe I'll use it when soloing WP?
