Working on being a part-time tank

So, my main is resto shaman on the Alliance side and prior to that I was a hunter. Like many, I identified strongly with my first toon but as the game changed, the things I liked about my first toon changed.

My first major alt was a feral druid that I wanted to tank on (20-mans) but due to how things were in the guild, I never got the chance to. Basically, there were several prot warrior alts and they were better at tanking since the healing was needed. Healing a feral specc'ed druid pre-TBC was the best practice to learning to heal as a resto shaman

Anyway, in BC, I have tanked on and off on the druid but discovered that I tanked poorly and I could not hold aggro on more than two mobs consistantly.

So, I have basically shelved the druid and I am working on a prot paladin. I have seen some really great prot paladins and I have seen some awful ones. My goal is to tank 5-mans and maybe 10-mans.

This is my 7th attempt at a paladin. So why have I deleted so many yet come back to it? One is I don't like the ret style. I have decided to level prot and I am enjoying it. I can handle three mobs of my level or slightly higher with little problem.

So, at level 30 I am at the highest level I have ever taken a pally. So far so good.
