Was just watching this Utgarde Keep video from mmo-champion and noticed that nearly every pull in there was 3 mobs, towards the end were a couple of 4's and think I saw 2 5's, but the majority were 3's. Going back over what Blizz have said on the forums about wanting to reduce the need for a group to have cc and/or a paladin to go and run instances, this video could show the new direction Blizz are taking and give us some indication on viability of war/druid/dk tanking to replace paladins.

IIRC, druid swipe can affect 3 mobs and so can thunderclap from a war while DK's have a small ae of their own so it looks like Blizz are going to break pulls down into bite-sized peices that all tanks can maintain agro on without having to micromanage to the extent warsd and druids currently do compared to paladins....the question is, will this be enough of a change for anyone to drop their paladins and move to a war, for instance?

I guess the other issue is, if this is the case, how big an impact will this have on mages and rogues being overlooked for groups with no need for cc? They will still likely get taken along for dps but will they be as needed as they currently are or will we start seeing more eclectic group makes up for both single and multiboxers?
