Defense procs are very bad, new sigil = bad

You can't count on a defense proc to make you immune to crits.

The new defense sigil, Sigil of the Unfaltering Knight, fails badly because of this. If it were parry, dodge, or armor it'd be okay... but defense falls short of those.

This sigil is specifically for death knights who have trouble reaching the 540 "cap." Because it is reliable, you aren't depending on a random roll to keep your defense high. If you don't like having to use Icy Touch (or whatever) to keep your defense high, then this sigil isn't for you. There are other options though.
