Tried it yesterday for the 1st time.
Not even the slightest problems.
Lv74 Ret Pala (even fully Ret-DD spec!)
Almost 1800 AP
Around 25% Crit
15500~ Armor
Avoidence/Block/Parry between 11%~13% (lol)
Only like 65% of my equip is Tank-equip.
Recount said i recived over 80% of the Parties DMG.
Almost 1100 DPS.
Of course i dun Block as much as Prot-Palas and get some more DMG, but aggro-management was very easy.
Sure, i could go spec Prot to be an even better Tank, but since im actually Retribution DD and dual-spec ain't here yet, this is a great idea to roll up to 80 when looking for Groups.
Trust me, Ret friends, you CAN Tank (with ease!) every Instance on your way to 80.
Just get some Blue Quest Tank items and a decent 1h sword (example: The blue WANTED Quest Reward in Zul'Dhrak).
Be sure you do not waste too much of your AttackPower and Crit. It's a huge Aggro boost.
Also make sure to drop your Leather/Mail stuff that u might be using to DPS.
The Tank rotation ist almost exactly the same as your DD rotation.
Judgement > Consecration > Divine Storm > Crusader Strike
Use Seal of Vengance/Corrpution! Divine Storm will affect up to 4 mobs with it's debuff!
In addition: Get yourself a Taunt Makro.
Try it, you'll like it.
