Not to hate on the fine and knowledgeable prot pallies on these forums, but here is a story.
I log on for raid night, 3 drakes and Malygos. One of our tanks isn't online. Which means the guy who usually tanks spawns is now tanking a drake, and a guy who normally tanks a drake is now tanking Sartharion. Question of the night is who is tanking spawns?
"Bode we fed you a full offset full of prot gear, you're tanking". So in 20 minutes I gem and enchant my gear, respec and realize I DON'T HAVE A Prot Helm. Too hell with it, its just adds. Now at this point I would like to point out that I have not tanked anything since an RFK run while leveling this toon back in February 2007.
1st attempt I forgot about whelps, recovered but we lost some people and wiped it. 2nd attempt no one died to spawns but tank got 1 shot because it was his first time tanking Sartharion. Third attempt no adds killed anyone we got another person a twilight drake. I didn't even read my abilities I just rolled my face across the keyboard and single target taunted any mobs that got loose. Honest question with no hate intended, is there more to it than that? Seemed easier than healing and healing is pretty lewl.
