Mana while not tanking?

Did anyone test what our mana was like when we´re not tanking?

If the mob we´re tanking dies and you´re freed up to do whatever, its been stated that tanks dps are increased to make them more useful when they´re not tanking, but has anyone tested what our mana is like when we´re trying to dps? the other 3 tanks has infinite resources, while ours are turned into a very finite source as soon as we´re no longer taking dmg or have someone trying to hit us.

Since if we´re not tanking we no longer get mana from Spiritual Attunement, nor do we get any mana back form dodge/block/parry, which from what i can see means our only source of manaregen will be from JoW, but is that enough to maintain a meaningful dps-rotation?

I guess with only a HotR/ShotR/Judgement rotation it may be sufficient, but what if we want to include avengersshield, consecration and Hammer of wrath once the mob is under 35%?

Anyway, just curious if anyone tested it.

Testing shows that we can keep up our threat rotation while taking exactly 0 damage for about 2 minutes, 3 if you also pot.

edit: assuming you don't use Consecration and Holy Shield.

What kind of dps do we do with that kind of rotation? It wasn't very fun doing between 1-200 dps on nightbane <.<

Bottomline, if you have 2 tanks, one has to offtank, and it's a DPS race, let that one be the non-paladin.

WARRIORS ARE BETTER OFFTANK THAN US KKK?

I'd like to see a talent or ability that looks something like

If your target is attacking someone else then you gain lots of mana.

Alternatively:
You take alot more damage but deal equal dps to a prot war.

(I guess the dual spec is kinda the second one, we spec into ret, is duel spec live anywhere yet?)

The "you can do 2 Min of Damage, if you pot 3 Min) is that with:

- Divine Plea on CD?
- Hand of Sacrifice on the MT?
- Replenishment Buff?
- Judgement of Wisdom?
- 0 Damage in the whole time (unlikely *g*)
