Me too. How else do you explain that Shield Slam does more Hate but less dps than Overreach if there aren't some mechanics that modify hate calculations based on the combo you are doing? Or that I seem to have more hate but less damage on my DT doing BfA 5&4 instead of BfA4&3?
Sure, this is all very vague and the only source of information for that are the bits and pieces devs talk about sometimes on TL (there are some really interesting posts from enex starting from here) and your own "feeling" while you are tanking.
