and here we are again....dps rotten is gone, the tank has returned... i think that i will remain def spec for as long as i run mc, and the idea of def spec no longer repulses me...perhaps its a sign of times, everything changes and we must change with it it seems that i am the best geared tank on the shadowfang mc run, and did a pretty good job tanking last week, hence, most likely i will be the mt for this saturdays run (rotten an mc mt? wtf?) unfortunately we were not able to take down luci last week but hopefully with def spec ill be that much tougher to kill, plus, i reread all the tanking articles and early boss strategies to refresh and maximize my abilities 10/0/41 www.wowhead.com/talent/?TV0xZZEizIeRroo

updated stats:
Tanking stats Hp: 331 (4819) Def: 339 %parry 12.96/ dodge 9.26/ block 15.96 (total chance: 38.18) Armor: 7982
Fire resist gear Hp: 299 (4449) Def: 332 %parry 12.88/ dodge 8.53/ block 11.88 (total chance: 33.39) Armor: 7215 fr: 167
slowly replacing junk fr gear with good gear; also have a leather belt with +20 fr but no other stats, do you think i should use this over the belt of might with +7 fr and 12 sta?

Well, I know very little about tanking, but my guess would be to use the Belt of Might until or unless the extra +13FR puts you over one of the break points. I say this because +12 sta seems overall useful in case you have to tank a non-fire add or something. I'm sure one of the other tanks will provide better advice, though.

Ipit has it right...
I have the same belt, and I never use it. It's really not worth sacrificing all that Sta. Also, you can't enchant a belt to improve it, so if you're going to sacrifice stats for FR, I would get the FR boots from Strat (+20 FR, plate, no other stats) and put the +sta enchant on them.

ah, but you USED to use it...I remember those mc days...
I only use it against gheddon (who causes me headaches somedays) and am occasionally still farming for the strat boots

If you're melee against Geddon, yes. FR > any other stats or gear.

For the first time in 6 months of raiding MC I was MT last night.
Tanked Luci when Funkenstein went down. Shanthis tanked Mags. I tanked Shazz and Garr. Shared trash mob tanking duties with Headbone.
All bosses were 1-shotted. We wiped once because of a bad pull: lava annihalator, 2 dogs, 2 giants....ouch
Just want to say thx to Vithigar for letting me into the raid as a late signup and for letting me MT. It was fun.

I think you meant Gehennas, not Shazz. Nothing against the new tanks, but some of them seemed a little fragile comparitively. This way they all got to see what was going on beofre they were face and eyes into it themselves. Not wiping is a nice bonus too. Glad you had a good time!

Fragile tanks? RAAAAAGH! Zrog smash!
Seriously - it IS all about gear for the poor tanks.

Hmm, I'd like to think its more than just gear, and not to toot my own horn but I'd like to think that the research I did and the time I spent practicing and watching other tanks made a difference in how I performed.
I'm using every trick except tubers and watching the healer channel....which I hope to do next time. Tubers are just a pain in the ass to get.
I think my setup of health pots, healthstones, last stand, and shield wall give me a boost in staying-alive power that I would not have been able to take advantage of with the same gear had I had it 6 months ago.
As a funky type of practice I would tank in AV which is far more difficult than normal or even dungeon tanking as guys come after you if they feel they can take you down. I've made many switch targets in search of easier prey. Would I call Rotten a tank now? Yes. I think I can finally say it and not feel like an ass.

well, i woke up on day i said, "Cherry you have an awsome weapon, use it to the max" so i re-specc to 31/20/0. July 12 i was the MT for the Shadowfang MC, mind u with this "non-tank" build people didnt even notice that i was arms fury. i give credit to my self, granted i had to work extra harder to keep agro w/o the 15% hate generate, but still i did the job. It is not a definate that i am sticking to this spec i might switch back to 31/5/15, but who knows. Only time will tell.
