cliche: shaman team

[tldr]

The LFD tool will not let Shaman select the role of tank, and if your goal is to do end game heroic instances, a Shaman does not make a good tank.

Bah, that dungeon finder is so restrictive. I've never tried to tank with a shaman (frankly haven't played the class much at all beyond what I described in the OP), but I don't recall any hate management stuff that a good tanking class probably needs.

I don't know how you recruited your accounts for RaF, and at the moment I'm too lazy to look at the rest of your posts to figure it out (if you had even mentioned it in a post), but if you're leveling your teams together at the same time, they don't just fall out of sync like that. If you had two existing accounts (A & B), then the recruitment should have been something like this:

A > C
B > D > E

Yeah, that's exactly what I did, where A and B represent my original two accounts.

The issue was that I used level granting... well, let's say I have toons A-1 B-2 C-3 D-4 E-5. They make up one team. Then I had another team, say A-6 B-7 C-8 D-9 E-0. I used level grants from 345 to level up 679 a bit, but that meant that 8 and 0 were left at the lower levels, because they were "leaf accounts" that didn't have any other toons to grant them levels. Anyway, that's how I ended up with a lop-sided team.

Threat works different than before. Now tanks get vengeance from taking damage, which influences their dmg. It's an innate mechanic of how threat works nowadays. Shamans are unable to acquire vengeance. Thus nearly impossible to maintain threat.
