I know its been hammered out, but I want to know which one the local tanks around here prefer and why. Mongoose I can understand why Bear Tanks would prefer it, because they get more out of Agility than Paladins do, namely Attack Power.
I have both i232 tank weapons from PoS/HoR; Rimefang's Claw I have set with Mongoose, and Falric's Wrist-Chopper I'm using Blood Draining. As much as I like Mongoose, it really doesn't seem to confer much for its price, 240 armor is very little in the grand scheme of things and it doesn't even have 100% uptime, and the attack speed bonus is only 0.02 ratio on Rimefang's Claw. It's 30 Haste, I believe?
Granted, Blood Draining isn't much either, 1800-2200HP at five stacks, but the difference is that it's consistent and always there when you need it, kinda like having an extra 200 Stamina in the bank, and honestly translates into a little more for a Prot Pally considering the way Ardent Defender works. It's not always going to save you, but lets be real, no enchant will always save you. But add in a health potion and a healthstone and it might keep you in the game long enough for that late heal to finally reach you and salvage the fight.
In short: I prefer Blood Draining for the reasons above, namely its consistency and reliability, but I wanted to know what the other resident tanks preferred and why.
