On the subject of pally tanks, I solo boxed one as MT for my guild in kara and again in WoTLK for naxx to Icecrown but took a break before the pre cata patch and I loved every second of it. Now after the patch I can't stand playing my pally as a tank I hate the holy power resource system with some kind of unhealthy passion. I'll be the first to admit that at times I felt like a warrior with an annoying mana bar and wanted to something diffrent but I just can't deal with the holy power crap as a tank (not as bad as ret.)

Thats just my opinion tho and I'm sure they are still great tanks it's jsut not for me anymore so when I get back to playing my pve team will most likely go warrior tank despite the clear advantages the pally has. Welcome to the site btw.
