Deathbone Set - Pally Tank Set in 1.10

Here you go, fresh from the PTR forums. It seems as if Blizzard is turning Deathbone into a Paladin tanking set - or at least trying:

Deathbone Chest
637 Armor
+12 Stamina
+17 Defense
+5 Mana/5s

Deathbone Gauntlets
398 Armor
+14 Stamina
+4 Mana/5s
+10 Defense

Deathbone Girdle
358 Armor
+15 Stamina
+4 Mana/5s
+9 Defense

Deathbone Legguards
557 Armor
+20 Sta
+5 Mana\5s
+13 Defense

Deathbone Sabatons
438 Armor
+9 Stamina
+6 Mana/5s
+10 Defense

What you get - lots of Stam, Def, and mana regen.
What you lack - any Str/Agi/Int

How does this help one grab and hold aggro?

I like the direction they are taking this set, but it feels incomplete. Regenerating mana is a great stat for a pally, but it needs to be paired with intellect.

I'd tack on my Stormpike Sage's Pendant and coldforged hammer, combined with iBoW I would be generating 67 mana a tick. Not bad, but nowhere near the rage generation of a warrior. You are still going to run out of mana quickly with no intellect, even generating mana back at a much quicker rate.

If the set stays like it is, I'd like to see it at least address our aggro capabilities. Some form of set bonus that either: increased retribution aura damage/threat, or boosted the threat of Righteous fury, or reduced the cost of judgements and/or holy spells. Something to make up for the fact that our mana pool is gimped with this set.

In other news, the Holy Shock + Divine Favor bug (where it was not critting when used as a damage spell, only as a healing spell) has FINALLY made the bug list of things to fix.

I actually do got the boots of this set. I mostly kept it around tho cuz of it's spirit since I'm wearing the pvp boots now. Will be something nice to throw on for the mana regen.

I find it kinda funny that a paladin would wear an armor set named "Deathbone"
