I know MoP is almost over but I still want to try to play some more
I've talked with a few tanks on my server and they say any tank is fine if you are using your active mitigation. I'm having more success on my warrior though. Probably because he is more geared, but I feel like shield block and shield barrier are just the best. With paladin you have shield of the righteous but it seems that it's not meant to be used in a defensive manner at all. It's about stacking haste and cycling through holy power as fast as possible. I really don't see the fun in that.
However what I do like is that the dps spec of paladin can be used with protection paladin gear. Just switching weapons and trinkets. With warrior it kinda sucks since your gear will be having dodge and parry so then you will want to make another set just for that.
But the main thing I am interested in here is the tanking. But right now the problem I'm facing is while warrior more fun, it's a bit more complicated too with so many buttons to press and sometimes I just lose track of raid mechanics. Like for instance I was tanking a Flex dark shamans fight and was finding it difficult keeping track of everything at once while doing my active mitigation priority and using CDs.
Well with paladin it's boring and quite simple with the active mitigation priority rotation it gives me thinking room to watch for raid mechanics.
I would like to hear about what you guys think on this whole matter and thanks for your time!
