Nice writing. =
I'd like to add a part of my very old tanking guide for newbies in t=
he Guild :).
I'll give an example of pulls I perform, I'm not taking CC (crowd co=
ntrol) abilities of the party members into consideration and this is an =
example of a group that works together good. You might get bad parties b=
ut this is still valid.
The order of who you kill first is that you always kill the healer f=
irst, then you kill the caster last you kill the melee.
Also if you have elite and normal mobs in same group you always take=
down the non elite first, because they do almost the same dmg a elite d=
oes but are so much easier to take down. So tell your party what to kill=
first.
Example of a body pull (charge).
3 mobs are isolated and I won't pull more if I use body pull (increa=
sed agro range on the pull). Mobs are 1 melee 1 healer and 1 caster. I t=
ell the party the order of the kill, healer, caster and melee last.
Party is ready, I target caster and charge. The mobs are a little sp=
read but the body pull gives me initial agro for them to come to me. =
As soon as they are in range I cast thunderclap and a dem shout to g=
et more agro on all mobs and decrease the dmg I get.
Now I get my self into def stance cast 2sunders (or 1sunder 1revenge=
if revenge is up), then I make sure I have 1 sunder on the 2 others.
As soon as the 2sunders are on the healer the rest of the party star=
t nuking that mob. =
I use a combination of sunder and heroic strike on the nuked mob wit=
h a revenge if it's up, and just sunder the rest with using a dem shout =
now and then. Always keep enough rage for a shield bash to kill that hea=
l.
When the healer is dead I focus on the caster and just keep up my co=
mbos.
Now I only have the meleer left and since I've been building up so m=
uch agro over time nothing is pulling it off me so I focus more on a lit=
tle extra dmg while still keeping the mob fully sundered (x5).
All mobs are dead and if no one messed up dps I should have been =
the one getting almost all the heals.
Range Pull (no cc).
When I do a ranged pull I make sure I get them to come to me, so if =
there is a caster in there I run away or around a corner to pull them cl=
oser.
Scenario: 3 patrols, each patrol consisting of 2mobs.
The pull; I study the patrols and their timing, when the first patro=
l is closest to me yet far enough from the others not to pull them along=
.
I'm in def stance, target 1 mob, apropriat time is now, cast bloodra=
ge and shoot bow/gun at the mob(take care to learn the delay of the bow/=
gun).
Clean pull 2mobs come. I let them come to me and as soon as they are=
in range I use dem shout. Then I sunder the first mob 2times and the se=
cond once. Party starts nuking first mob, I take care to keep up x2 time=
s the agro on the first mobs over the second one (2sunders vs 1sunder). =
Using a combo of SA+HS and using revenge every time it is up.
1st mob is dead now all on the second one, no problem.
Next pull; same drill.
I'm in def stance, target 1 mob, aproriate time is now, cast bloodra=
ge and shoot bow/gun at the (take care to learn the delay of the bow/gun=
) mob. But this time I miscalculated the delay in the shooting =3D(, bot=
h patrols come for me.
I’ve got a good party and they know better than to start to pa=
nic and nukeing.
Mobs are on me now (4) I cast a dem shout and spamming sunders+heroi=
c strikes+revenge+shield bash as fast as my rage and cooldowns allow me.=
Party does nothing but heal me until I give the go.
Now every mob has at least 2sunders and had a few agro moves made on=
them. I start consentrating agro on one mob and call in the dps. Rinse =
repeat procedure. No panic and no hassle.
All of this I assume a good party and no *nubs* who panic/nuke at th=
e slightest missgoing =3D). =
Keeping a cool head and a over view of the whole battlefield is one =
of the requirements for good tanking.
Don’t ever focus all your attention on one mob, that is what t=
he dps do not the tank.
Hope this helps a little =3D) in understanding some of the basic pri=
ncipals of tanking

A note on Demoralizing shout.
As of 2.0 it's agro is now divided equally among all affected mobs. =
So less agro per mob the more mobs you target.

Excellent post, I was going to write a similar one for my Raiding Co=
mmunity but I think I will just direct them here for now.
A note to all Warriors watching the "Defenses" sub-table o=
n their Character sheet: this shows incorrect values for Block, Dodge an=
d Parry because it incudes your bonus from +Defence gear twice
I've reported this bug but in the meantime the correct values are sh=
own in your Spell Book or the excellent TankPoints addon.

Any chance to explain why tanking in full protection this moment fee=
ls like tanking with zero protection points before patch, in threat gene=
ration terms? =
The new synergy on dps (paladin +crit, moonkin + hit, warrior + dmg,=
hunter + ap, and so on...) and the almost nonexistent increase of threa=
t ( devastate=3Dsunder+), tanking in aq40 and naxx have become increasin=
g difficult.
