You don't understand. There is only blue gear available to you before you tank heroics. You ahve the luxury of being able to be carried now to get badge gear thats equivelent to BT level. THAT WON'T EXIST IN WRATH.
Thats the point of tanking with all blue gear (From dungeons), IT IS THE BEST YOU CAN GET.
I do understand. But after readying those blue posts, its really a matter of having a different perspective about how they are changing all tanking class abilities now versus what gear you will be in when you get there.

For now, I got the following from reading all of that.

- Tanking for all classes and specs is still in design, they only have an idea that we will have 4 classes to tank.

So, really no decisions can be made about anything at this point.

However, it appears they want everyone to have to bring at least one form of CC to an instance since they are implying that no tank will be able to handle more then a set amount of mobs, and the number of mobs in a pull will be larger then whatever that number will be, so you will need by design a CC class to run an instance in the way they are talking about it.

With what I have read, they are trying to make tanking classes pretty generic in their abilities, just do the same thing in different ways, but leave nobody behind in their ability to fill the roll, thereby increasing the number of available tanks.

Based on what Ghostwalker is saying, It looks to me like people should be more worried about how they can get a CC class into their multibox group then what tank to bring.

It will be interesting for us that have invested the time in our 5x shaman groups to see if the 5x shaman burst will still be viable alternative to a classic tank + cc group.
