Prot Warriors: What's the point of choose the talent Rend?

Classes Warrior

I’ve been reading some talent guides (Icy-Veins, PvPLeaderboard, etc) and they seem to recommend Rend as one of the Protection talents.

However, the Deep Wound debuff is already being applied by auto-attacks. The Rend debuff is already being applied by Thunder Claps. Why cast a 30-rage Rend (instead of a Revenge swing) which doesn’t do anything special over Thunder Claps?

Thank you everyone for your inputs in advance! I apologize if this question is too noobish.

I see. It seems that even if I have Blood and Thunder (a Warrior talent), but without Rend, my Thunder Claps don’t even apply the Rend debuff.

Thunderclap costs 10 more Rage and deals 10% increased damage. If you have Rend, Thunder Clap affects 5 nearby targets with Rend.
