    Where is all the good info about Tanking?

    Looking for a website like maintankadin.com but for DK's. I see lots of resources on dps, but little on tanking.

    Thanks

    Normal sources:
    EJ's DK forum: http://elitistjerks.com/f72/
    WoW tank forum: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/bo...rumId=13395580
    WoW DK forum: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/bo...rumId=13673870
    and Deathknight.info: http://deathknight.info/

    I don't know of any really established DK tanking discussion sites at the moment, but.. It's a new class, it's going to take a little trailblazing. Get reading :P

    Don't send him to the official WoW forums as it is a cesspool of idiocy. EJ has good info. Also on this site Gestalt made this thread which is very comprehensive on all aspects of the DK:

    http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=26397.0

    There is a thread called "Have a beta tester look at your spec" I posted a lot of my thoughts on tanking builds towards the end of that thread i think page 25+

    Here is the thread my first tanking info starts mid page and goes till the end of the thread. Gestalt has a lot of good comments in that stretch as well. Read those 5 pages you'll learn a lot on why you should and shouldn't take different talents

    You also get to see me come to the realization that i was wrong about some talents which is rare!

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that for DK tanks your priorities for stats should be:

    Stam>Str for base stats

    Defense (till cap) then Dodge/Parry

    As far as holding agro...throw out diseases when necessary...spam obliterate and frost strike...rune strike when it pops...taunt/etc. when necessary.

    If you go looking for a maintankadin type site all you will get is a headache over the ridiculously long rotations and super specific specs which are just not needed to hold agro anymore...but they'll still act like they are.
