I was having a discussion with one of the warriors in my guild similar to this. My guild currently has too many tanks and we have a high signing rate for raids and the slight problem that we all do in fact want to tank and aren't tanks wanting to go DPS.
1 Feral
1 Protection paladin
2 Warriors
1 DK
He was worried about threat levels when compared to me and was looking favorably on gear with expertise and hit. Trouble is I have ghost hit, JoL threat, an unbuffed BV of 1450 and low avoidance 47% (so more space for blocking on the attack table) so I am doing high threat for a high threat tank.
I have been purposefully going for BV/BR gear as the warriors don't really want it and it results in gearing up the tanking team faster. When they have their bits I will start collecting the avoidance pieces, but really atm with so many tanks I can go down the path of specializing in high BV as we use best suited tank for each encounter.
