Well for what it's worth, I'll be adding Moorguard to the list of tanks very soon. Once he gets to 70 that is. He's specced Retnoob at the moment for soloing goodness.
WIDGET AND ATOMIC??? What the hell happened while I was gone?

Ok.. I did not read all 5 pages of this... cuz i just got to waco and im tired and im going to bed and i like to write run on sentences and i gotta go pee..
Anyway..
I just got my newly transferred warrior, Wraath to lvl 70. He was arms/protection spec for most of his life up through 60. I changed to arms/fury for leveling from 60-70, but will be respeccing him back to an acceptable protection spec.
So, I am ready to tank. The problem is, he is not attuned to any heroics or to Karazhan now. His gear is mediocre at best, but I am trying to work on that.
So, long story short. I now have a 70 warrior. He is available for tanking, but will need runs through most of the non-heroic dungeons to get up to speed. So, if you are ever running those and need some tankage, just let me know.

One of the benefits of being a tank is that you can post a run in the intance forum and it will fill up. =) Post the runs and we'll do the rest. =)

You'll also get lots of PMs, IMs, text messages and emails requesting you to fill in last minute.
DONT DO IT OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF YOUR HEART!
I've filled out my humidor with Cubans, have two cases of Cristal on stand-by, I finally paid off my Spyder, and the hookers! Oh, you can't keep them away! And don't even talk to me about all teh purpelz you get sent in-game.
Make sure you get the most out of your guildies when they're in a pinch.

Really no great need out there that I've seen Jack. I've been 70 for over a week now and frankly a need for tanking has never arisen. Seems there are a ton of tank chars on when you count druids, paladins and wars. I'd advise keeping him dps for now, if you have a couple points in defense, that should do well enough for an inpromptu 5 man.
Personally I was compelled to follow Viraj the Overlork's command and reanimated Xyzzy :)

Yes, our tank crisis seems to be over.
Thanks to all our long-time tanks, our newly recruited tanks, and everyone who levelled new tanks!!

Yea, I got Arathorne to 70 but havent been doing much with him but helping with lower instances. I am working to lvl my preist atm.
My plan is more ingenious. Mittun the tank is now level 44 and is scheduled to peak at 70 precisely when the next crisis unfolds.

Just to throw this out there, please remember too, something that Rinader has been saying for a long time :) While we did need a tanks BADLY, and I'm damn glad we have em now, warriors are hardly REQUIRED to be tanks - we DO at some point need DPS warriors! Fury is of course awesome DPS, and in particular the Mortal Strike in Arms is like SWEET in raids against mobs who heal themselves and all. So don't forget that, warriors! ;) That goes for my own alt.
