Quote:If playing a tanking class and specced and geared for it I expect to be roughly as good as each of the others at tanking 5-man instances (allowing for the buffs and utility each brings to a group) and to be preferred in some raid fights (where a specialist tank of each class will probably be present).Sigh... I'm not getting back into this.
Mages get to tank in raids (Krosh Firehand). Where are the Druid and Paladin tanking fights?
Ok, I lied.
Warriors offer NO other utility in a raid besides tanking. Druids and Pallies do. I think Druids and Pallies specced for tanking should be close, but not equal to, a Prot specced Warrior. Druids/Paladins should be fully able to tank raid bosses, just not as well as a Prot Warrior. Thus, Prot Warriors will be wanted but not required.
