A good raid leader will make sure that upgrades are spread around evenly. I speak from the experience of losing a 8/8 wrath warrior MT to burn out.

That's admirable. It can also cause your raid group to completely stall.

You can't dictate drops, after all. To use the Wrath example, you might end up with four or five 2/8 tanks. Sure, eventually they'll get geared up, but if you keep farming the same place week after week, people start burning out. A lot of people never saw their T2 pants because MC had been farmed to death already and people wanted to move on.

Edit: And as a present MT more often than not I can tell you that the glory doesn't go to us but to the team.

The one time I really "shone" as a warrior was when I picked up Nefarion after the MT died and managed to shield wall the last 2% with the only healer on fumes.

Most rank-and-file raid group members don't really see off-tanks unless something goes wrong and said off-tank have to step up to the plate and tank the boss. That's my experience, of course, and yours may differ.
