There is a difference, if you're Arcane. As I said earlier: Mana Shield + Mage Ward + Incanter's Absorption = more pew pew fun.
Fire, unfortunately, has no such fun.

Ok, so in the event the tank just dinged 80 and is in mostly blues and maybe a couple low level epics and a few pieces of T9, tops, then it can be argued that he's at such a massive disadvantage against heavily geared DPS that aggro pulls are not due to tank player error.
Other than that, if DPS are getting aggro, it's a tank problem. Period.
in no situation should a dps have aggro. All dps classes need to slow down and let the tanks tank.
Threat is not a issue in 5 mans. dps are the issue. is your tank at 535 defense for heroics? check. done. dps let the tank get 40k aggro then go at it.
Have you looked at the other areas of the forums? their are lock, mage, shaman, hunter threads about "do you think I could tank _____ heroic?" every reply is the same.
"Your not a tank stop thinking you are."
I am at the point now where I will not do any randoms unless it is a guild pre-made 5 man. the random dungeon finder has gotten 10 times worse with baddies since the patch.

This conversation started out with Aestu praising this patch as a massive buff and not a nerf.
I strongly disagree with Aestu and the fact that he has been very rude in defending his own thread....
if we were not nerfed why is blizz buffing daily to fix the issues?
This thread has deviated drastically from the original post and is off topic.

tl;dr yes, they need to L2P, so let's help and give pointers instead of bashing someone because they didn't magically know what to do on patch day. :) I mean, it's not like the patch is less than a week old or anything... ;3
The first hurdle on the way to improving as a player is accepting the need to do so. And for some players, that hurdle is very high.
See, the thing is, it is possible to be good at a thing without being an ass. You may want to try that, Aestu.
Aestu,
Are you serious?
Your hurdle is too high maybe you need to fall a couple times to realize this.

They buffed ret and holy. Not prot.
I tank fivemans all the time. What makes them insufferable is low DPS. Again, if youu are having this problem and other tanks aren't the problem is on your end.

Protection

Holy Wrath

Mastery: Divine Bulwark

Yesterday they raised it to 25% from 24% on live and did not post a blue post on it.

Aestu this is what you called the thread... you turned your own thread about buffs into a thread about flaming other tanks that are having issues with the patch changes.
