I was exactly where you are now two years ago. A prospect of starting raiding on my tank, but a clicker which harmed my awareness a ton.

Sure, block doesn't help me live through magical attacks. However, every tank's primary toolbox gears them towards dealing with physical damage. Now I haven't seen any of the raids yet, but unless...
I don't get the after 75% to be honest. Even if you're a robot hitting shield block every 30 seconds exactly when it is of cooldown you'll still have 20 out of 30 seconds after that where you suffer...
Odd. I remember many guides and calculators including block in their definition/calculation of effective health. Seriously how often do you get stunned or have mobs walk behind you? (anub adds being...
I was under the impression getting the dark nucleus would be easier for a ranged class - at least, that's the only reason we've used our warlocks to tank Keleseth.
We've got a 5 man tank team for 25 man raiding. So we have acces to all classes, and even have 2 warriors in that tank team. We generally mix and match letting as many people learn specific roles....
Well, to be honest, when we started swapping I generally swapped about 10 seconds after the debuff wore off and it never stacked up. A couple of times I just waited to see if I could get two of em,...
Last sunday our offtank kept dying in the 25 man version. When we swapped back and forth between soaking and tanking it stopped happening. I did notice a 5-6 dot debuff on me every now and then but...
Solution wise? Alter sword and board to give you a 'free' Shieldslam or Thunderclap when it procs. Let the ability still cost a global cooldown. In this situation I'm not sure if it'd still be okay...
To be joining the speculation. I think Blizzard is stuck at this point. Ghostcrawler stated that changing heroic strike, defensive stance, shield slam are not on the menu. I agree, a revenge change...
I use a TAB (or shift+TAB) to cycle through mobs (shift+TAB for backwards cycling) next to clicking the nameplates. There's a few very handy addons for managing the nameplates and I recommend you...
Goodness! 41.000 armor raid buffed? Oh my. And I was happy I started to approach 34.000 on my warrior. Though I'm guesstimating the 5-6k armor difference is being offset by blocking a little bit.
