Aura of courage interaction with GWF and GF double mark.

In PVP if a paladin is using aura of courage and gets double marked by a gwf/gf in any combination and then uses his tab ability (as oath of protection) The aura will bug and cause the damage back to the pally. This can be reproduced 100% of the time.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Take oath of protection paladin into PVP
2) Have both a GF and a GWF "mark" him (2 red X's will appear)
3) Have the paladin use his tab ability
4) Watch the paladins health be affected

Every time this happens to me I instantly die if I am not using binding oath. In which case my pally will die when the encounter expires.
This has been a bug with aura of courage since it has existed. If you have any trouble reproducing it please PM me I will be glad to assist. This is one of the best damage dealing auras for DPS and yet it's the riskiest to use in PVP. It can even kill teammates on the node with you.

I can only assume it has to do with the reflection of the tab ability in combination with the damage that you deal as radiant damage to those around you with the aura.

Thanks for your time and assistance.

    Ouch. Maybe they should rename it "Martyr's Oath" for PvP.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    It also gets bugged with Warlocks Bargain from the SW for the same reason, it forms a damage loop. This is also easily testable.
    Steps to repeat:
    1) Go into PVP with an Oath of protection pally using aura of courage
    2) Have the SW crit using WB on the Pally
    3) Use the tab button on the Pally
    4) Watch the Pallies health instantly disappear.

    It's an insta kill because of a damage loop.

    This is a shame

    We report this bug for over a year

    It is possible that no one wants to listen to us?

    So what is the fix for this? un-slot aura of courage? replace with what? if this has not been fixed yet after being reported a year ago, I have NO faith in it being fixed at all (not this company).
