Yeah ain't that the truth. From old memories of trying to time the bearpot macro in TBC to shift out and pot between boss swings (this was before you could potion or use items without shifting out).

More looking at the slaves than the tank, he's got the simplest job in the world. But if the kitty slaves need to drop some hots on the bear or travelform hightail it or even "oops I critted too much time to bear up", there's just a lot of potential configurations.

At the end of the day I don't think it'll matter too much to my guys, since the raiding feral will outthreat the snot out of the other 4 for a long long time and likely will do bear form and spec in cat gear until at least the HoR level instances. And though my pally is questing/instancing at level with his shammies, the bear would be flatly boosting the baby kitties.

Definitely keep us advised.

Oh and to the original post, no doubt at all that paladin is the easiest tank to play/box, and I agree with the druid being second. The one button pally tanking macro is at least 4 different places on this site, and super's one button bear tanking macro is in the macro compendium, which he used to tank through ulduar when it was current content.
