I also have all the confidence in the world in Treesh as my healer, so a grouping of such would be fine with me. The thing to remember with a druid tank, is DPS can't start quite as quickly on the additional mobs as we can with a warrior. When I pull in caster form, I can get almost instant lock down on the first target, but my efforts to gain aggro and lock down in Bear form, without the advantage of the starfire/moonfire faerie fire combo to start with, it takes me longer to lock down. As long as the party with me understands that, and allows me the time to lock down, and we follow target selection well, we should be ok. At that point, the only real issue is healer aggro. So, I guess it helps to have a hunter with me when I tank, I don't know if I'd call it neccessary. It's just different with a druid tank than a warrior, especially when compared to warriors of the caliber of Durambar and Conc. Not to mention the fact that I really don't have a ton of experience tanking anyway, so that's an issue."Need" was a poor choice of words on my part.

You did a great job tanking last week. The only difference from the rogue's point of view was that I get higher crits with Sunder Armor on the mob. But from the viewpoint of holding aggro you did an excellent job.
