This. To be more precise, bouncing aggro is tricky and prone to error. Furthermore, one good prot tank can absorb more effective damage than 4 rets combined. Eventually, the content you're doing will outstrip your healer's ability to keep up. That threshold is a LOT higher with a prot tank than with rets.
