"Tanking in Wrath of the Lich King" -- blue post

I would like to remind everyone that, although this is a primarily Tankadin board, intolerance toward other classes is not permitted.

In terms of tanking equality, and since I am not in the beta I am asking this question of those who are . . .

Are we still getting a 16% stamina boost to the warriors' 10%?

If so, that fact alone could provide more equalization at level 80 as well, seeing as our gear will be more shared/similar with the warriors than ever before, unbuffed/untalented stamina levels should be equivalent, then we win by 6% minus their starting base health advantage (whatever it is, like 1400 or something?).

We are still getting the same stamina we got in TBC.

Unless at lvl 80 paladin have a ridicolously low base HP pool, we will outhealth any warrior, including Taurens.

Little bloodelves tougher to break than the big beef?

Well Alliance side, tough dwarves and big draenei.look ok for me.

I'm not really happy with the job of being an off healer. You either bring enough healers or you don't. Though I will grant that another healer often makes the pure healers job easier.

I've MT'd for my guild(s) for quite a while now (before 2.3), my opportunity was made by knowing my stuff, tanking a BM for an officer, and the generosity/RL issues of the current MT at the time. I've fought for the Tankadins cause, and have changed many peoples minds about them. I've even inspired several people to create Tankadins.

I love tanking. But I feel I need to step down now and again, to let other people get the needed experience. I've always done DPS when I do this, and I cringe every single time.

Like I've said to my guildies, the day they nerf prot is the day I spec ret.

WotLK ofc isn't a nerf, but I'm seriosly thinking about making my pally ret and running with a DK. If only because it fits me personally better to DPS when I'm not tanking.

Thought I'd throw these up:
