As far as the IWT is concerned....I don't spam it.

Example of what is happening - today in AN, I run tank up to the last boss....engage, hit IWT, the pallys run past. I hit it again, they turn...and ran through him......third time they turn again....run through him and into his pound.....3 dead paladins.

As far as money goes. I suppose I could gear the tank in BoEs, however the economy is piss poor on my server and that sort of stuff is actually rarely on the AH.
