Warrior PvE 5 Box Instance Tanking (Post 3.02) - Anyone Have Experience ?

Warriors are still the best tanks in my opinion. I have been using a warrior as tank since I started. With, the latest patch it's just so much more easy.

I only use one macro for tanking.

/castrandom Shield Slam, Devastate, Revenge, Shield Block

When you have more than 50 rage use heroic strike/cleave to dump rage. Don't forget to Thunder Clap, but I wouldn't use TC in a macro, simply because I want full control of when I use it. If the mobs are weak I don't use it. You don't need to use it to keep aggro, shockwave is more than enough to hold healing aggro.

I added the shield block in 3.0.

The treat output is insane, I have NEVER lost aggro since 3.0. Been doing Heroics and 5 manning Kara.

Don't forget to Thunderclap every cool down. Now that it scales with AP it does quite a bit of damage. Also,the four target cap has been removed so it will hit every mob that's in range. Rage generally isn't an issue anymore if you have more than one mob beating on you.

edit: Ever since the 3.0 patch I find that I suddenly have too many buttons to press on my warrior, but the fact that prot tanking is a blast more than makes up it. ;)

Prot warriors are actually so much fun now that I'm considering making one my main in wotlk, assuming they don't drastically change them before I get to 80. I was thinking fury, but prot is just so much more fun now.
