In [[patch 2.3]] this talent has been modified to include a reduction cost of [[Devastate]] as well, the tooltip reading ''"Reduces the cost of your sunder armor and devastate abilties by X rage point."'' reducing the rage costs at the same rate as [[Sunder Armor]], making this talent more appealling after the changes to [[Devastate]].

[[Improved Taunt]] and [[Improved Disarm]] share the same rung of the Protection tree - to progress further the five best spent points would be Improved Taunt 2/2 and then Improved Sunder Armor 3/3.

Notes

Puncture TCG

In World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

A reasonably useful talent for a Main Tank type of role, as Ability warrior sunder [Sunder Armor] is one of the three key abilities the Tank will be using over and over. However, as a Main Tank in group work, rage generation tends to be very high anyway, so 'savings' type talents aren't as important as in solo work.

Its position on row four of the tree means that it is likely to be impractical for any warriors who aren't planing a significant Protection build (i.e. Arms/Fury MS Soloing builds), making this mostly one of for post-60 Raid Warriors.
