This just in! It took a week short of 4 months after Cataclysm launch for the new crew at World of Warcraft Development department to correct this flaw, but the allocated budget on Flask of Steelskin is finally getting fixed in 4.1, to a rightous 450 stam.
- Flask of Steelskin now grants 450 Stamina, up from 300. The Mixology bonus for alchemists remains at 120 stamina.
Furthermore, a welcome change to HL, ensuring that we no longer have to wait a full second or longer for a free GCD to use it.
And most importantly, Gag Order gives back to protection warriors the ability to use their limited silences.
- Gag Order now applies to Pummel and only affects Heroic Throw, giving these abilities a 100% chance to silence the target for 3 seconds. In addition, Gag Order lowers the cooldown of Heroic Throw by 30 seconds.
Hurray Blizzard! Thank you for not letting the tanks down.
Here’s a quick glance at how this slightly modifies my previous summary:
← What we lose /Shield Bash/ – What we get /Pummel/ →
Requires Shields - No Requirement
12 sec CD - 10 sec CD
On interrupt: 6 sec spell-lockout - On interrupt: 4 sec spell-lockout
3 sec guaranteed silence - 3 sec guaranteed silence

I heard, but have not seen anything official about interrupts now not being affected by the hit cap… is this true of pummel?
Comment by Logtar April 4, 2011 @ 15:23Indeed what you’ve heard is correct, it’s one of the reasons I’m eagerly anticipating the patch. I have to keep remembering to still switch to hit gear on those certain fights and then always forget to switch back
Here’s an official confirmation (Classes: General) for ya.
