Still not setup strafing yet, but I think I've got over the hump as far as the tank is concerned. I've just been sitting in LFG constantly as DPS, building up badges till the point where I thought I had enough. Single boxing, I managed to do Heroic Pit of Saron
Now that I can queue as a tank, I'm getting into the instance far quicker

You can que up with your DPS, and drop group on your tank if you aren't comfortable with your team in heroics yet.

If you're gona screw with my sig at least leave the thing bolded :P
Ooh, hadn't thought of that
Seems a little devious....but not in a terribly bad way....hehe.
My 5 pally team is at lvl 72 now, when they hit 70 I took them into UK to try my first northrend dungeon, I got owned hard, leveled them to 71 and bought/had crafted the cobalt set pieces for all 5 and went back in. Mind you they all are in full boa gear + cobalt set, my second go was a cake walk.
All that tells you is a few upgrades will go a damn long way to your success. Try the boe route, get all the craftables you can get and pump up your tank. That's the best advice I can give
You sir are smarter then I, I tried it at 68 and got smashed :P I did make it to the first boss but barely touched him so stopped trying after 3 goes. Might look into this cobalt gear, and maybe soemthing for my healer as well and try again at 71.

BOA gear helps SOOOO much lol
Yeah, my guys all had the PvE heirloom chest and 2H axe....and the PvP shoulders. Granted when I was joining LFG, it was with the DK tank and 3 retadins...I was pugging a dedicated healer. Found all the content pretty easy.....it's the jump to heroics that's the problem.
As others have said--Gearing your tank out is your number one priority in order to successfully complete heroics. With BoE epics you should have no problem whatsoever starting out doing heroics. If you can just get your Rets each a Titansteel Destroyer then you should be well enough off to finish many heroics.

Also, make sure you run 5v5 in arena each week. Even with 0-10 weeks, you will get arena points and can grab 2 pieces of ilvl251 gear in 5 weeks. One piece in 2 short weeks...
It may be PvP gear, but it's a huge upgrade over 187-200 level stuff and your whole team can get it guaranteed...
I hadn't considered that...thanks. At least I know it'll be quick loses....I've barely done any PvP with them.
