Also about Cataclysm, Warrior tank seem to be in a pretty good place. Intersting spec, fun talents !
My advice : level up you warrior now, and see where it goes ! If you like the feeling, then try to push it till 80, gear up a bit, and practice in heroics. You will either love it and become addicted to tanking because it's both demanding and rewarding when you sucess at tanking, or you will dislike it and go back to DPS.
When I tank, I literally feel I'm driving a spaceship : heavy armor, first in the line, tons of things to monitor, quick reactions needed, almost instinctive, yet so fluid. This mob is slipping from you ? Quick, taunt it back, Slam his face for quick threat but dont forget to devastate this other one and cleave both, Thunderclap on CD, oooops SHOCKWAVE IS AVAILABLE BOOM. Owait, i'm at 20% HP ? SHIELDWALL LASTSTAND CANTKILLME ANYMOAR ! WTF now all dead ? Let's pull next pack, gogo ! ThunderclapShieldslamDevastateCleaveCleaveCleave.
Hum yeah, sorry, got a litthle Journey too here xD
