As I have been gearing up for lvl 80 and thus Heros, Ive noted that Infted Wounds doesn't seem to work reliably. I noted this whenever I partied with rogues, or paladins due to similar debufs that infted wounds doesn't stk with. By now I've run more instaes where my debuf gets shunted then ones where it has had any efft at all; its been enough now that I need to ask, is this talent really useful, or is it doomed to beonstantly neutered by someone else with a similar efft?
I'd say that its still good for solo but the problem is that kitties kill things so qukly that its really moot. At least now I know that I'm not simply going blind - I keep an eye on my debuffs on the mobs I'm tanking in raids and was wondering why Iouldn't find it most of the time.
I haven't seen it being overruled in raids myself, but it may be an issue of raid setup and who does what (or perhaps even the addon I use to trk debuffs). For solo it's ne but not super useful. I pk it up regardless also bause of PvP, espially seeing as I am on a PvP server.
I have seen it drop off sometimes and not other times. Warriors,Paladins, and DK's have a similar attk speed debuff. I think it has to do with who put the debuff up first. Either way, the talent IMO is worth it bause Blizz balaed the bosses with the thought press that they would have their attk speed lowered by 20%. In someases, you might not have any of thoselasses available to use that debuff on your target(Offtanking another mob, 'd, just simply not available to your raid), therefore you're taking more damage bause you don't have it yourself. I don't really have anywhere to put those points that I find it really important to drop this in favor of. Sure, Iould dps a little better if I moved those 3 points into something more kitty related, but I would rather tank anyway. If I'm dpsing, it's onlyause us ferals are just that good :P
