My main team is a combination of 1 x druid tank, 1 x druid healer and 3 x locks. Originally, I hated this team and I struggled like a bastard for all it's fiddly-ness - but I have come to love them and I can't imagine playing without them now.
(Only recently on here I was bemoaning my ability in wrath instances but I'm now doing great having streamlined and re-visited every aspect of the team, talents, rotations etc. Perseverance and all that)
Anyway, back to bear tanks. I find now that a faerie fire pull, then a Demo Roar when all are in range followed by Swipe/Maul (with 2 target Maul glyph) is enough to keep aggro on all mobs very comfortably. The kill target gets a mangle or two on it as well to get the benefit of extra talented Maul damage. I only use Lacerate on bosses now.
So yes, easy peasy mode tanking now, I'm in love with it.
From the perspective of my group composition I'm finding it all very handy now. Having two Innervates means a free mana top up every 3 minutes which means my healer never has to drink. My locks Lifetap to full mana when necessary of course. Three soulstones is also a godsend for getting back into action and those felguards have saved many a wipe after the occasional inevitable bear death![]()
