I used to tank very cautiously when I started in Outland. Instances were new, I was unsure and didn't know what the mobs were like. I used to ask the other players how they usually handled each fight and I marked everything up, used CC but in general got the party through unscathed.

Now I like fast paced instance runs and 90% of the time things go very smoothly and fast. Unless I'm packing a undergeared healer, I don't usually bother with crowd control. This is of course somewhat up...

I'll start with this: If you are going to make a definative statement presented as fact, be certain that it is obvious and established fact or have the math/reasonable evidentual back up to prove your point. Shooting your mouth off and passing off items as fact...

So I have made my return to playing after a long break and many real life changes. I am now going to move to a new place this weekend but at least I am getting some playing time again and talking to old friends again.

Obviously being gone for so long there were some people that stepped up to tank during my absence and with a few warrior tanks getting better gear and taking the reins, then a druid tank alt stepping up to help out, and my original tankadin partner still going. I was...
