"How can you be a protection warrior at level one?" I hear you all asking. It's a matter of heart. Of drive. Of the mentality of a protection warrior.
Leveling from 1-70 while protection specced was a pain, but it allowed me to practice my tanking skills on the way to 70. I tanked everything from VC to Gnomer to BRD, on up through all of the Burning Crusade instances as I leveled through them. And now I find myself the warrior tank in my small guild of friends who is the best geared, and is one of the go-to guys when we do our ZA attempts.
Being prot at heart has its advantages.

I showed up for Naxx, ready and rearin' to go. However, we had four tanks online looking to go in. So, we do our traditional /roll for a spot, and no luck for me.
But wait, we might have enough people online for a second raid! And it would be me and Garthin tanking side-by-side! Score! (He's the best-geared tank in the guild, one of our current raid leaders, and a friend of mine).
So, we put together a second group, and realize that we have exactly four people for that group. Not going to happen. So, it's altsville for me.
And I'm not complaining. I love my shaman, Iaria. Shaman healing is easy and fun, and even soloing with the resto shaman isn't that bad.
I did Halls of Lightning, farmed Borean Leather, and did some leatherworking. She's at 432 LW, which means she can make the epic leg armors.
And you thought this would have nothing to do with tanking.
