Tanking Quiz!

[Skandranon]

1) There are 3 stats that improve a warrior tank's threat generation. Which are those stats. (bonus if in order from better to worse).
2) What Cloak enchant is better for a warrior tank? 12 defense, 12 agi or 12 dodge? (bonus if in order)
3) What is the worst tanking stat an item could have while aiming for uncrushability, and why?
4) You are tanking Teron Gorefiend, you pop bloodrage and run in. What is the first ability you need to use when you run in?
5) On an untauntable mob, you have the job of building second aggro. What ability you do not want to be using under normal circumstances when building second aggro as a warrior, and why?
6) Normally on many heroic bosses, when running with one of our mages, the Warrior tank would ask him to pull the boss with a Pyroblast with all he's got. Why would I do this? (tip: no, its not to get him killed lol)
7) In Sunwell Plateau, the first boss fight has a demon that performs an ability called Corrupting Strike. This ability deals a vast amount of damage and also knocks the tank down. What makes this ability so dangerous, and why?
8) Illidan Stormrage performs an ability called Shear, which greatly reduces your health, turning any hit in a posible one shot on the tank. As a warrior you avoid this ability by timing your shield block. But since you need to time your shield block, you cant use it freely, so: How do you avoid Illidan crushing you?
9) Warriors are normally the best tanks against elemental type of mobs (like Ragnaros or Hydross). Why is this?

1) There are a lot of stats that increase threat generation, but I think the quiz doesn't mean to include armor pen, strength, agility, attack power, or any stat that doesn't regularly appear on tank gear (the oddly itemized T6 set notwithstanding). I think they answer they want is 1) Block Value 2) Hit 3) Expertise.

2) Weird question. Defense if short of the cap or going for passive uncrushability. Agility if you expect to be offtanking more than maintanking. Dodge if you expect to be maintanking more than offtanking.

3) Assuming that this question is intended to begin "Of the stats that contribute to uncrushability, for warriors..." the answer is Block Rating, because Shield Block already makes you uncrushable with decent amounts of parry/dodge/miss. Assuming that the question actually means passive uncrushability, it's Agility, since it has the worst ratio of itembudget-to-avoidance. Excluding Agility since it's not really a tanking stat, the answer is Parry, because it has the worst ratio of the strictly tanking stats.

4) Shield Block. On the standard strategy, the entire raid is moving behind the tank, who cannot expect to get anything other than a few on-the-move heals as people are taking up positions. It's important not to take crushes during this time.

5) Of the abilities that specifically generate extra threat, Heroic Strike, because it slows rage generation from offensive swings (which are all you have as second on threat).

6) For a taunt to build a larger threat buffer for the rest. But you'd better have a nice chunk of hit or you're going to splat your mage.

7) The knockdown disables all forms of avoidance, which means that you are unlikely to avoid any of the followup attacks to Corrupting Strike (which is a good 10k damage with a 1k/sec DoT and hardly unthreatening on its own).

8) Illidan doesn't crush.

9) Defensive stance/improved defensive stance with regards to druids. With regards to paladins, you cannot Block the attacks of elemental-attacking mobs, meaning that Holy Shield and its protective and threat-generating effects are effectively disabled.
