I've found it really hard for a druid to macro as much threat to both the kill target and the aoe around them.
As far as single boxing either as a tank, I have no issues with either.
So once the macro is worked out, either can tank as well as the other.
My solution at the moment is to put my click castsequence spam on buttons 1-3.
Then the druid gets three hotkeys:
1)
/Castsequence reset=5 Mangle, Maul, Maul
2)
/Castsequence reset=target Faerie Fire, Null
/cast Lacerate
3)
/Cast Swipe
On the druid I manually click Growl, Challenging Roar, Demoralizing Roar, Feral Charge, Berserk, Survival Instincts and Frenzied Regeneration.
I pull with the Faerie Fire / Lacerate button. And have the option of Lacerate on subsequent clicks, for extra single target threat.
The Mangle/Maul button is fairly decent threat for tougher mobs. The Swipe button lets me spam that on larger pulls to hold threat a lot more so.
Prior to breaking these into three keys, I would frequently have one of my DPS pull threat from secondary targets off of the druid, especially Chain Lightning which in the click castsequence was being cast every 3.5 seconds.
I was using....
/Castsequence Faerie Fire, Demoralizing Roar, Null
/Castsequence Mangle, Lacerate, Swipe, Mangle, Maul, Swipe
The new macros, with three dps keys seems to be working well so far.
The druid is crit immune from talents alone.
The paladin requires a lot of defense to achieve this.
In Cataclysm (which I'm guessing will be out Nov/Dec of 2010), every tank will be crit immune from talents alone.
