Why do I not see many of you guys with a warrior ??

Warrior tank , not much to discuss. It is the worst tank overall right now.

No self healing, no abosrb shield. Warrior tank in our raid drains healers mana like crazy. It also walks slow (walk speed very important in a lot of encounters).

Warriors have a couple things that make them unique. If the encounter doesn't require them, warrior becomes the worst.

Disarm , Shield Reflect, Charge, Shockwave stun.

Currently, none of those are truly required for any encounter. So no warriors.

Enraged Regeneration, Gift of the Naaru for Draeneis.

no abosrb shield.

Shield Wall, shield reflect, Last Stand, shield reflect or disarm to a certain extent.

It also walks slow (walk speed very important in a lot of encounters).

True, but they have 2 charges on hostile targets and a charge on a friendly target (intervene).

Well all these abilities can be used in all dungeons. There stands the difference between a good warrior and a bad one. In all packs of mobs, you should be able to at least reflect a few spells or silence a caster or disarm a melee. These abilities are just not very multiboxing friendly because they have to be used in reaction to something thus not really macroable in a single /castsequence

I used a Warrior tank throughout WoTLK, using a Blood DK tank this time around with the warrior as Fury DPS.
