Frenzied Regen has become essentially worthless at this point, can’t do anything against magic damage (not exclusive to bear but still), just generally feels awful to play. Like I can’t do anything on my own without a healer chasing me around constantly.
Fun anectode:
I have a friend I used to raid with until he got transferred (army) and couldn’t make our raid times anymore. He still does M+ on the weekends with people in the guild, though.
A couple weeks ago they were doing some runs and asked me to come tank, and I said sure.
He was healing. About 30 seconds into the +11 dungeon, he says over voice, “Oh yeah, I forgot you’re a bear tank, so I actually have to heal you.”

lmao fair point
The blue posts released during WoD for legion stating in summary that tanks are too strong, and need to be more reliant on healers… Guess it took two expansions to get one tank the way the want.
Really? It’s not OP, but going from Warrior to Bear, the heals are amazing. Frenzied Regen is the breasts, and Resto Affinity not only give Ysera’s Gift but also Swiftmend (basically a third frenzied regen) and awesome casted heals. I admit it gets a bit tricky to use them, but it can save your life when you know how.

I think those resto affinity heals work best in PvP, where you can give somebody low on health a quick heal between fights even if there’s no healer handy at the moment.
You can be your own pocket healer if you duobox.
