How do I tank?!

[moguri]

I just got my pally to 80, played ret however, and I have no idea how to tank. There doesn't seem to be a tanking sticky so any rotations or priorities that are important please let me know. I want to start off tanking heroics and then move on to raids eventually. What seal should I use? Should I use seal of command for heroics for aoe threat?

pretty good site, explains a lot about tanking as a pally.

Luckily, prot pallies have the best threat out there so even if you're doing something wrong in a 5 man, it probably won't lead to a dps pulling. That doesn't mean you shouldn't learn, though. In fact, you should take your time gearing as a learning process. A problem I often see is people gearing up their prot set while in ret/holy and not knowing what to do. The only reason I went ret from 1-80 is because I assumed I'd know what I was doing as holy, since I play a holy priest. I guess I was only half right 'cause I went and gemmed for spirit/SP like a n00b.

Regardless, I wish you luck in the world of tanking!
