Prot Warriors

I'm convinced a druid tank needs access to a lot of abilities.
Because when I one-box the druid, I have no issues on single target or multiple target pulls.

So, it is definitely doable.
But not necessarily easy to macro into a one-button spam system.
I'd like a one-button spam system, as that would make the druid far easier to box.
Or even a two button system, one for single target and one for multi-target pulls.

It's not a huge issue.
My mixed team is leveling, because the toons were already 70th with epic flyers.
At 80th, that's an extra 1100g in one hour of dailies.
The tank doesn't have to be amazing, as there are really only two group dailies I do.
And then a bunch of mobs which will die very fast to any 5-box composition.

sorry, i was at work and couldnt look at your armory and i read something in your op wrong and thought you mentioned spell reflect for your toons.

Same Single box druid = great aggro, I could actually out aggro many warriors for awhile (They might have sucked alot but that wasn't the point)
But it required alot of buttons...I tried to box my druid and was sorely surprised at how many buttons I would have had to mingle into a couple click macros....scary the changes are

Warrior tho, I am leveling one with shammies now and tbh I never have trouble with aoe or single target threat unless I get a bad timed stun or miss a tremor pulse on a random fear, even with disarm...TC/Shock = win even still

Havent tanked with a druid in a while, but when I did, I just hotted him up beforehand, and built up some rage and charged in, and just waited a while until I got swipes in. Then i started. Paladins are just easy to front load the threat, whilst other classes of tanks need time to build it up.

Eventually, for heroics at least, you wont need much healing at all. My tank is just about at 40k hp buffed in my heroic group (improved fort, sanct, and Imp) and i just throw a renew, and a PW:S and go to town, rarely needing anything more, except some AoE damage heavy fights (Drakkari Colossus....) My priest just spams smite for 1.4k dps...

Did they make PWShield generate rage for warriors or is it still kinda crappy?

i have a prot pally (tbc), dk, and now warrior tank for my mixed-class group. all my accounts are cancelled until 3.3 for now, but it took me about 2 weeks to "gear up" my warrior. Warriors are DEFINITELY harder to multibox tank than pallys (easiest/best) or DKs, but once you struggle through and get the gear its not bad at all. I solo tank toc25, ony25, and even did a togc10 to anub this week on my warrior and he's been 80 for under a month. I'd say warriors are the most fun tanks since there just are a lot of things you can press while still feeling powerful, pallys are just sooo boring - consecrate and AFK.

A huge huge huge thing is simply gear, until you reach a good level of dodge/parry/block warriors take really big, big hits. I wiped sooooo much in heroic toc until my warrior was around 545 def, 36k hp, and 40%+ dodge/block/parry. After that it became easy.

this is my tank spam macro, I never have to really do much except spam it:

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat/target Devastate, Devastate, Devastate, Devastate, Devastate, Shield Slam, Rend, Heroic Strike
/startattack

I do use devastate and sunder armor glyphs, forgot what the 3d is (shield block or shield wall?). its not a perfect macro, and I manually have to click revenge when it procs, and of course I manually shock wave early on. haven't had huge threat issues though when 5 boxing or solo and my guys are geared well.

Being an engineer is a HUUUGE help for a warrior tank, since I can rocket blast + heroic throw at the beginning of every boss pull for a nice 5k chunk of threat.
