Have a warrior alt, thinking of leveling as prot.

[Mavfin]

I'm going to level him from 65 to 80 as prot. Mainly so I can learn about warrior tanking, and get over the 'WTF are all these buttons for?' that I have when I look at warrior tanks.

I have shoulders, and I'm going to get the plate heirloom Chest. I was thinking about getting an heirloom weapon, but I wasn't sure what I should get.

There is:

A fast dagger with stam
A sword with stam
A mace with stam + agi

I know that it's leveling and what not, but I wasn't sure if using a slow weapon as a warrior tank would matter at all.

With the dev buff, one of the swords would be best. Slow weaps give bigger devastates. Stack strength. I leveled as prot, but I wore all the str/crit gear I could find for normal questing. I put on my tank gear for instances and soloing elites. For multiple mobs leveling, glyphed cleave is nice, and you'll love what you can do to casters.
