I wonder if there is a point where a Pally due to gear just out shines the bear. Right now I see them at even keel for tank and spank bosses.

I've neglected my team since last Thursday, and since I've been pugging randoms on my Paladin, so I think I've got a decent feel for at least heroic tanking with her. IMO Paladins are better overall tanks. Block and Parry are ridiculously OP. I've tanked for years as a bear, and I think I'll probably always tank with a bear, but damn. You don't know what your missing until you see how little damage you tank in comparison. I won't be replacing my bear, I'm just far too comfortable with bear tanking, but it's clear to me now why so many people rave about paladin tanks. My biggest gripe is mana. It just feels wrong to me to have mana as a tank mechanic and I hate waiting to drink, rage just seems to make so much more sense, but it's probably just because I've tanked that way for so long.
