I've been following the current WotLK alpha leaks and I must admit I was very satisfied with the way the warrior protection was coming.
They reduced the cooldowns of the oh-shit-buttons to the minimum, increased the capability of burst aggro (we will have a talent that decreases the rage cost and cooldown of Shield Slam any time we deal damage with either SS or Devastate) and the utility of Shield Bash and Thunderclap as their damage will increase with Ap.
This way they will also...

First things first - to Chris, I'll miss you loads - but take a break and I hope you'll be back for WotLK.

On friday night we headed into BT, I was asked to MT Naj'entus. The trash went well, we even got through the pull before Naj without wiping, although we did lose some tanks and some randoms along the way. We had the traditional 7% wipe, when he enraged due to us losing too much dps early on, and several tries later we had him down. I haven't been that...

So, I don't read tanking tips as regularly as I should, mostly because Vene's writing is distinctly flavored toward warriors and well, I'm a druid/paladin.

As a result, I missed his recent arguement attempting to compare the regular badge leggings vs the QD Badge leggings, by pretending both are trinkets:

Sunguard Sextant

23 Expertise Rating

Now, as a druid, this is what my wet dreams...

'tis an interesting thing, tanking on a pally. Holding aggro on the first kill target is nigh impossible. You're fighting a really hard battle against the DPS and it's just... nightmarish. And then skull dies, and you can lay off consecrate or downrank to rank 1, seal wis and start to fill your blue rage bar up in preparation for the next pull.

I love it.

I can just go and go and go usually, DPS as twinked as I am (http://www.armorylite.com/us/kel'thuzad/alent/)...
