Felguard Tank (PVE, no instances!)

[Naysayer]

I'm thinking about a druid (healer) + 4x warlock setup for farming
the dailys and questing.

Anyone got some experience in using the felguard as a tank?
I'm not interested in doing heroics or even non-heroic instances...
it's just about tanking an elite mob to complete the quest (like
the 4 elite quests in dragonblight / wintergarde keep) or the arena
quest in Zul'Drak or killing the elite mobs for the daily Qs in icecrown.

I'd like to know if it's possible to heal the felguard or the void
and keep them alive with some hots or are they dead within
the blink of an eye?

Oh yah. You can solo those quests with your felguard and no healer if you spec somewhat correctly in demonology (not hard to figure out where). The only problem I ever had was aggro, not him dying. Once and a while you'll need to aggro drop with void shatter or whatever it's called. Obviously you'll also need to DPS very very slowly. Easy to watch if you have an aggro addon like Omen. Let him build aggro and then MORE DOTS.

A healer would be overkill imo. The whole problem was aggro, not sure how you can counter that with boxing.

EDIT: Come to think of it, doesn't earth shield add aggro to the person it's cast on? That would help to have a shaman around as well as the bonuses from strength of earth, flametongue, healing stream, and windfury. Also the shaman could drop earth elementals to help.

Second best choice would be a priest if reflective shield adds aggro to the person it's cast on.

A pally would help with ret aura i guess.

Druid is just a great combo with warlocks period, but I'm not sure how they could help with aggro control.

No matter the choice, they'd be doing a whole lot of standing around tbqh.

Finally, don't forget that your gear effects your felguards stats, so don't slack on your gear.
