I've seen some posts lately bringing up the idea of using improved expose armor in raids, as it ends up removing more armor than a full sunder stack -- but I haven't seen a convincing argument either way. Has anyone else? Anyone have a link to a useful discussion? Off the top of my head it'd have to consider:
impact on the dps of the rogue speccing into the talent and using combo points to keep it up, versus the overall gain in raid dps
impact on the threat generation of the tank (if a warrior), there is going to be a tradeoff between increased physical damage and reduced devastate damage
any dependance on mob armor (solarian, for example, may well have zero armor by the time sunder gets stacked
