By the way, one of the spider mobs in CoS puts a poison on you that does 15% of your health per tick. Was it perhaps on these pulls that you took so much damage?
Nope, it was the dragonkin inside the town hall after you get done clearing the waves. I didn't even know about the spider dot, I'll have to watch out for that one from now on. I assume that it has always been cleansed, because I never ran into that issue... yet lol. I think it just pretty much boils down to my positioning. I have ran at least 10 heroics and a 25 man raid since that CoS run, and have had no trouble at all. I had a discussion with the healer after that particular CoS run, and it pretty much went like..
"I heal 25 mans every week, my guild tanks never get hit that hard." etc etc etc "The dps was low, maybe I had to over heal you, thats why my mana kept running out so fast."
I am not one to call someone out for being a bad player, because I know I am no pro. In fact, if I do happen to pug a bad player, I always just suck it up and do my best to finish the instance anyway, no matter what, to at least give the player more dungeon experience. So, when this healer said this to me, I just felt like he was trying to place blame on everyone but himself, but didn't want to get into an argument or nothing about it. I am glad I didn't though, because I am almost positive, that it was indeed, just poor positioning. It actually happend again during a Gundrak run, and I immediately started paying attention to where I was standing opposed to the mobs, and it was like day and night difference.

And you say you're getting hit for 5k? Yeah that's pretty normal, welcome to heroics. Mobs hit hard.
Yeah, of course. To be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell you what normal incoming damage is or not, I look up online what requirements I need to tank, I meet the requirements, I run dungeons. I knew I met the requirements, yet somehow I was still giving healers a difficult time healing me. That is why I come to this forum, to get help from Warriors who have been there, and done it already. Which by the way, I want to thank all of you for your input, the whole poor positioning thing was a bonehead mistake, and I should have realized right away through common sense.

Kill order is important for CoS.
I pug all of my heroics, nobody listens to kill order sadly. I shouldn't say nobody, but you will always have that special snowflake dps who is too good for kill orders. I know it might have been a bad move, but I even picked up a Glyph of Cleaving for the added cleave target, just so I could hold onto as many targets as I could while tanking the primary targets because of dps who pull that crap on me.
