WotLK Palladin talent - bugged?

[schabsky]

HI, there is palladin talent "ardent defender" which makes u to be healed up when u get dead hit.
So i was tanking for 10 min. I have 1%, getting dead hit. Dieing, there is animation, and nothing happens.
How this talent (not) works?

It's hard to tell what happened in the background without logs but it's good to note that the heal you receive is based on your defense skill/rating.

What might have occurred is your character was saved from that single killing blow but the heal you received was so little, it looked like nothing happened.

It does not resurrect you when you die, it just saves you from dying once per cooldown.

Hope that helps.
