My bear tank for aoe threat management and i mean above 8-9 mobs is subpar, but for anything else the armor, health, threat, pre-hotting, offloading the pressure from my priest healer, battle res and so on is OP.
Very easy rotation for multiboxers... spam Maul and Swipe
Current team: bear tank/2 x mages/warlock/priest @lvl 44
if you want massive aoe pulls for a spell cleave group maybe another tank is better...
But for reasonable pulls, and bosses, bear tanks are excellent and very easy to handle.
I think that bear is a great choice if you are playing with 3 mages, with Improved Thorns and Demo Roar your bear will generate aggro faster then a warrior on melee mobs and your mages with Ice Barrier will soak up spell damage from casters while spamming arcane explosion which counteracts the lack of mitigation compared to a warrior and spreads out damage making your Prayer of Healing even better.
If you have a paladin healer warlocks work too, since you can start pulling with Retribution aura and switch to Concentration aura when you use Hellfire.
