Tonight I added Vashj to my paladin's list of bosses that I've main tanked for kills.

Yep, that's right, I've main tanked Vashj kills as a Druid and as a Paladin. So, I need to borrow someone's warrior so I can say I've tanked her as all three classes...

All levity aside, it was a pretty close call. We'd decided it was our last attempt after two and a half hours of wipes (I burned 3 wizard oil charges on vashj alone), we finally dropped her.

Question: Why is there a shortage of tanks in wow?

Answer: There are no tank classes.

When replying to Armstrong's blog earlier today I came up with the most unusual search I've ever inflicted upon wowhead: Show me all 2H weapons in the game with armor and NO feral attack power.

This turned up some interesting results, that I will review here.

I was hoping to turn up some 2H DK tank weapons (you'll notice it's the wrath beta search). What I turned up were some...
