Where do you find "The Love"?

So, yes and no.

A mediocre tank needs a lot of CC and goes on autopilot.  A medicre healer watches only the main tank and plays healbot.  A mediocre hunter or rogue is nothing but a DPS monkey.

The harder the pull, the more interesting (for everyone).

I really like your post. I find much more love as the Main Tank, but part of it might be when I was playing my warlock (semi-retired) we ended up being over leveled for all of our instances. We didn't keep it challenging, so it wasn't interesting. In our current horde group on Terenas, we're trying to attack instances at less than the recommended levels, and it's more fun. So it's not just the role you play than affect "the love", but how you address other things. Challenging is good!

I do think my dominant, Type A personality lends me to playing a major role better, and the main tank suits just that. I'm going all out every fight to generate aggro, am the puller and tend to be the battlefield commander, barking orders. Also, in our Doomhammer group, our main healer (a druid) wasn't very happy in his healbot role, so a change to a different class has kept him happier. Our main tank from Doomhammer (who I always thought could have been better) changed to a mage in our horde group, and loves it, rather than the love/hate relationship he had with his warrior. While I thought he could do his tank role better (he'll likely read this post, vor_lord and I are making lurkers out of all of them), I can't imagine a better mage. I've stopped calling out sheep targets if there are adds, he's on it (with the same target I had in mind) before I think it and his experience as the main tank makes him great for when he does get aggro. So, my point here is we all liked different roles, depending on personalities. I'm also glad we took some time (two rerolled after WC) to make sure that everyone in our second group was getting "the love" so we'll see more of the end game together.

We did RFK last weekend, 31, 31, 30, 28, and 25 (too low to even get the quests) and it was more challenging (4 adds from the large aggro radius of the 25) kept things very interesting. We survived that with no casualties, but wiped once with another bad pull + adds. We had too much fun with Necrali's mind control pulls, but it was the most enjoyable instance I have ever participated in, and largely because we were all pulling out all the stops.

For the Horde!!!
