What I mean when I use the word tank is simply 'warrior'. We clear BWL without, to my knowledge, _any_ protection specced warriors, but we certainly have more than 3 warriors in a raid (5-6 ideally). My point was that the protection tree isn't needed to tank effectively, and becomes less so as your gear improves. Thus you may as well spec dps ;-)
Those mortal strikes come in handy.

The people we have who are deep-prot spec are that spec by their own choice, because that's how they like it. Other warriors are Fury, or MS, or whatever they wish to be. It's a fun way to play, IMO.
So, whether you *need* it or not is irrelevant here, as no one told those tanks they had to be deep prot :P
