Depending on what he is tanking, me might not need 5/5 toughness... I know for M'uru, for example, the only things I tank hit me for 200 or so, melee, the majority of the damage is coming from the aoe shadow bolts. And since for Twins I'm holy, I very often have an abnormal spec for a that fight (respeccing 3 times a night sucks, Holy for Kalec/Brut, Prot for Felmyst, Holy for Twins, Prot again for M'uru).

there are 2 different discussions i think people are overlapping

gear wise, i dont think oss has the best of the best in every slot. sunwell has only been out so long, there is the rest of the raid to gear, and random drops = fail. that being said, he does have top of the line gear available for tankadins, and currently has access to everything in the game, hence why i mentioned his name.

skill wise, i will agree that being in a top guild doesnt mean youre the best. but, exodus has downed kj, and sunwell has a nasty trend of incrasingly relying on every raid member to do their part. with such a small margin for error, i would say its safe to assume that the us horde first kj, and ranked 4th in the world, has overall skilled players, and having raided with a large number of them, id say he, along with the rest of them, knows what hes doing. also, gm and mt kaywarrior doesnt take to well to incompetence, theres a significant difference between a high end guild and a top 5 world ranked guild.

incidentally, i cant see his spec, maybe people should be looking at what talents he chose, instead of the ones he didnt? not trying to say he is the best, but someone asked to see a geared paladin, and his name came to mind. just like having high end gear doesnt make you skilled, having a weird spec doesnt necessarily make you bad. theres an exodus lock who pulls one of the highest dps in the world according to wws, and i know he raids with a funky spec. clearly its working for them, just because you dont agree or it might not be whats accepted as "better" doesnt mean hes not just as, if not more, skilled than the people badmouthing him.

The whole aoe gimmick thing definitely doesnt need prot spec anywhere in sunwell, and hopefully blizzard isnt dumb enough to not realize it. I may go back to being holy for muru too, i had been originally doing it easily but switched to prot when i was tanking more waves at once - will see how survivability goes now. Where prot truly shines in sunwell is on humanoid adds on muru and imo on adds on kj; i dont see either one being done by a holy pally.

As far as ossuary, paladin tanks in high end guilds may go with fairly bizarre specs and change them a lot because we are catering to specific fights. I've put together some ridiculous specs for fights before because of specific mechanics and he probably does the same.

I've picked up reckoning for M'uru aswell in my spec. However i see no reason to take PoJ.... Unless its a KJ thing. But im pretty sure he wasnt there for the kill anyways?
