Just a bit of an aside here, Desecration is an awful talent for a tank (and a pretty bad talent for any PvE situation). The fact is, due to Epidemic, you just aren't Plague Striking often enough to refresh the 12sec Desecration (and if you are, you're nerfing your damage much more than the 5% would provide). So, it ends up being an increase in DPS by about 3.33%, which is pretty low for the steep cost of 5 talent points (Blizzard has stated that for DPS talents, the "rule of thumb" is about 1% DPS increase per talent point. Plus, if you're DPSing with the Glyph of Scourge Strike, Desecration has even more downtime, sometimes drastically so. Desecration is a PvP talent, through and through.
