patch 2.0.10 notes on the PTR

[fractaled]

So we've gone from viable raid tanks (over-powered in other areas relative to Prot Warriors) to non-viable raid tanks (over-powered in other areas relative to Prot Warriors). For people, like me, who don't really care about those other areas and who do care about raid tanking it's time to dust off the Warrior alt

If a Prot-warrior isn't your #1 choice for a raid tank, you have three options:
1) make it so that a prot-warrior is #1 for raid tanking
2) change the class so that they have another role in raids
3) ignore them and watch them all go away

Currently, a Prot warrior gives up a ton to tank. Horrible grinding potential, horrible PvP potential. It's obvious that they have to have a niche. Also, if bears are taking over that roll in their current gear (pre nerf), it means that they will be broken down the road when they do get gear -- and perhaps that is the reason for the current dearth of epic druid tanking gear.
