Ok, to start off with, I think this should be 4 seconds long. The uptime of this even with a fully geared prot pally (62% reduced dmg) is not enough to make up for the 40% mitigation I lost (blocked attacks are now on a 2nd roll so we get hit by the boss more often, no more CTC)

BUT, on a good note, this buff stacks when refreshed, what I mean by this is if you somehow manage to cast a 2nd SotR before the buff expires, the duration is increased by 3 seconds, I have gotten up to 8 seconds thanks to Holy Avenger

EDIT: I'll add in some other prot pally tips as well

1. Holy Wrath WILL break repetance and probably other cc
2. Holy Avenger is now our BEST defensive ability when able to attack a mob, 18 seconds of 50%+ less physical dmg
3. All our glyphs are pretty meh so go with whatever you like, they aren't going to make a huge difference, except for maybe Glyph of Consecration, that is just awesomesauce imo
4. Hit 7.5% exp 7.5% FIRST, it is priority and is our best mitigation (less if you are only doing heroics and not raids)
5. AVENGER'S SHIELD DOES NOT SILENBCE ALL 3 TARGETS, only the first (MASSIVE CHANGE)

I'll add in more as I find/remember them

I think it's supposed to balance out the loss of damage mitigation when taking our t3 talent choice into account, since we're supposed to be active mitigation now. Of course, I've yet to actually, well, DO anything yet since I've spent the last few days working out all the different crap I need to learn running a mixed team, but I'm not terribly concerned about it.
