It's not all about the mitigation, which btw, many tanks don't need more of thanks to gear and socket choices. The idea behind this is the 2% increase in threat generation allows a higher roof for your dps.

Do a little bit of math with that and it comes out that this enchant raises the potential amount your dps can open up by quite a bit in the higher levels of play.

(with threat reducing talents and or enchants on correctly specced dps players, this enchant should allow them to open up with nearly 350 dps more without threatening to take aggro from the tank)

That is, of course, assuming your raid is specced, socketed, and enchanted correctly and can actually put out that much more dps in the first place.

Anyways, it's a nice enchant, not something to be sneered at.

This looks to be the cheapest way by far to level to 450. Eternals aren't very expensive and can easily be farmed if you don't want to spend the money.

@Caliid: congratulations, you just proved that the tooltip reads 2% increase in threat. my post which you quoted (sadly now purged) was to show that a 2% increase in the TANKS threat can translate into a substantial increase the DPS can achieve before they have to back off. oh well.
