I really hope you could combine Gladiator Stance & Devastate rune or it will useless.
I mean, Devastate extra damage should be aplicated in Gladiator Stance too and not only in Defensive Stance.

Aggrend already replied on twitter that Devastate will be able to be used with Glad stance.
However, Gladiator stance is terrible and you wont use it regardless.

Stay mad bro.
They are supporting it with gear now too lol. Nearly ~100 SBV has been added to p3 loot. Thats insane for classic leveling range.
Shield Slam will hit for ~500 at lvl 50, and crit for 1k. Thats just without any damage modifiers on a FREE proc, because your going to be busy spamming a 40% buffed devastate.

I believe you can use Devastate in Glad Stance if you equip a shield.
The real problem of Devastate is it request to equip shield and damage is based on the number of Sunder Armor.
If you have a shadow priest on your raid you will not able to stack Sunder Armor so Devastate can only do the basic damage.
I not believer the Devs know how to design the Shield prot warrior. So just remove the requirement of equip the shield and bonus the damage based on the armor decrease, not only the Sunder Armor debuff.
w/e you say bro 
pretty sure casters still gonna blow u up

The stance is for PvP purposes, or DPS PvE.

Glad stance will single handedly bring back sword and board tanking for warriors.
You can still use Sunder Armor, but Devastate effect is only activated on Defensive Stance. Gladiator Stance should have the same bonus as Defensive Stance if they really want to make it a thing in phase 3.
Glad does say it gets abilities from the other stances, so it might work off the bat as if it were dev.
Or theyll just add it to the ability.
“While wearing a shield in Gladiator Stance, you may use all abilities that are restricted to other stances.”
You may need to read the description of Glad Stance again.
It’s on his twitter somewhere. someone asked him and he said “Of course you will be able to use devastate with glad stance!”
Bro, that description is ambiguous. Can talk about a lot of things like Berserker Rage, Retaliation, etc.
Runes are a new thing, and some of them didn’t work properly. For example: instant Slam runes still resets your auto-attack swing timer. No good reason, the ability becomes instant like any ability that don’t mess your autoattack (for example: Overpower or Mortal Strike).
Dispersion rune works bad/bug and most of the times you can’t cancel it via “/cancelaura Dispersion” command or macro.
So, maybe you should think beyond before send me to read again the rune.
literally reduces threat generated but ok
Thank you. I will trust! 
Gladiator Stance should be a book not a rune.

I was super excited about this, but with Shield Slam being the prot capstone its going to be difficult if not impossible to build a dps spec around
Glad rune + Thrash Blade + Arms Sword spec + Devastate spam combined with wildstrikes = fun?
Idk a lot of random things to mess with lol
I’m thinking 0/10/31 with Shield Mastery, Gladiator and Devastate.
Should net you +30% damage mods from Glad/Shield/One-Handed Spec, and gain plenty of rage from unbridled wrath, along with 5% crit. Shield Slam will be hitting often and hard.

No it will not. It has a major threat and armor debuff
