More Alt-Tanking

I'm a raid officer for a fairly large casual guild. Right now we're working on finishing SSC/TK and starting in MH/BT, with 2 down in MH and 1 in BT.
I rolled my tank when we were doing Molten Core, long long ago. All the protection warriors we had were either getting burned out or just tired of not being able to PVP without a full respec. I leveled a gnome (we were doing ZG also, and the ability to break snares seemed to be worthwhile) from 1-60 in what was then a guild record 7 days. Tanked all of MC, some of BWL, the expansion got close, the holidays got close, we quit raiding and the expac came out.
I'd fully intended to not level my warrior past that. We had plenty of tanks, and with the druid changes from joke to viable and sometimes preferred I figured I'd never level my warrior up. My warlock hit 70, I leveled my druid (who I'd leveled to help out with healing) to 70 and was about to start working on getting my hunter to 70 when...
We were working through Kara and starting Gruul. Then our tanks quit showing up for raids. Sigh.
So I two-box leveled my warrior 60-70 in as few days played as possible. I picked up the starter gear list off the WoW warrior forum and plowed all that through. I finished blacksmithing and had a weapon, and I started tanking Karazhan and Gruul.
That's how I came to have a warrior alt.
I'm trying to decide if I'm going to switch my main over to my warrior in Wrath. Warriors are not the undisputed top-of-the-heap tanks anymore, but they are still incredibly fun to play.
