What i miss most of all, even though I wasn't a tank in BC, but I am one now (semi good gear avg about 262 iLvl), Is the use of CC. Now it's all about Nuke and Aoe, sure, that kills most things alot faster then now that we all got SOO much more spellpower/attackpower, but where is the fun in just zergrushing everything? Some ppl don't even know WHY I mark a mob with skull and cross, damn in BC/old wow most ppl knew about skull and cross, and if thy went up it wa' allmost sure the be a question about them. IF I as tank Mark a mob with skull=I want it dead ASAP no matter what is around, healer keep me alive and dps singeltarget nuke the crap out of skull.
I know about the flaws in my spellin but I felt like I can leave it be.

This is a video of me pulling a heroic
. The PoV is a friend; the rest are LFD randoms.
You are exactly the kind of tank wrong with this game. You pull entire rooms in one shot, pull the boss before the mobs are even dead so you have to deal with a boss AND mobs (nevermind any adds the boss might have).. it's ridiculous. People like you are the reason why most DPS bounce around like hyper elementary school kids with this "gogogo" nonsense.
Hope you enjoy your wake-up call in Cataclysm when pulling heroics like you did that Gundrak vid will end up in a wipe.

There was nothing wrong about Aestus vid. He pulls entire rooms because he can. And because it is time efficient, and amusing.

You sound like a stick. If there is anyone who will break with the Cataclysm, it will be you, not us (good tanks). Good tanks can judge their possibilities, and adjust their style to any situation. If Cataclysm heroics will require a different tanking approach, good tanks will adapt.

No, I just hate the mentality that you need to go as fast as possible. When I tank I pull at a comfortable pace, but I do not chain pull like some overhyped moron who wants to be in and out in 15 minutes. I am a good tank, thank you very much, and I don't need to subscribe to the "gogogo" mentality to prove it.

If the tank doesn't rush, the dps will run ahead and ninjapull everything, while criticizing the tank for being slow.
Tanks go fast because these days, if you don't get to the mobs before the dps, you lose control of the whole situation very quickly. Rushing is preferable.
Fortunately, this will be fixed somewhat in the Cataclysm endgame...
I HOPE.
This will be fixed in cata period. I know a rogue tried to kill the first thing in a instance one time.. he failed miserably and I didn't rez him.
As for the issue now I don't heal DPS that pull aggro unless the tank couldn't keep it and I won't even heal the tank till I am ready to. I buff up and mana up when I need to. If they run out of heal range I try and keep up if I don't they can die for all I care I ain't in a marathon.
