Best aoe-tank, pally or DK?

[valle2000]

I have one group were main focus is using pure AOE (at least on all non-boss mobs). The group consist of two priests casting Holy novas and two mages casting Arcane explosions.

Now which tank has best capability of trying to hold aggro of those slaves:
a paladin using consecration and righteous fury OR a death knight using frost presence and death'n'decay (with additional damage dnd glyph). Which of these two will generate highest aoe-threat?

Paladin. Their TPS is retardedly high unless you have a really, really geared bear.

+ pally is easier, since you don't have to click to cast like d'n'd.

+ holy wrath on UD's with the added holy nova bonus against UD's, you'll rip them apart

Something worth noting is that the bear is the best moving AoE, their swipe allows for really large AoE chain pulls, so if you are farming mobs I would choose a bear

Yes paladin is retarded easy AoE, but that is going to change in Cataclysm.

If that is the case, will paladin still be better than a death knight after cataclysm?

They are not nerfing them at all when it comes to AE. They are bringing all tanks more AE tanking tools. I think a bear with be best in Cata based on the "mobile" AE ability they have and the new bleed effect being added to their ae targets.
But for now, Paly is by far the best.

What I read from blue posts is that they are not happy with the way raids/dungeons are AoE fests with no regard to aggro and no chance of tank dying. Expect more CC in Cata or the tank dies and you wipe.

Source? I'll admit to not doing much research into the expansion as I'm having too much fun doing other stuff.

Sorry I'm too lazy to find the quote, but it's a blue post so you could try googling for like tanking + cataclysm. It was a rather large post that was on MMO-Champion a few weeks ago.
