Thats the only time it's legit to tank as anything but prot.
Although if it were me I'd taunt and click my trusty rocket boots and run the &*!@ away. The further away you get him the more he has to run around to murder. Might even be able to get a taunt second off!
Good wrk

^This.
Had to do that in a heroic the other day, but I'd been running around for 10 seconds or so and no one had killed the boss, so I just turned around and did it myself.
<3 ret.
The best thing to do though would be do what quest says, kite until he catches you, turn around and half-bubble, and proceed to tank. That probably gives you ~20-30 seconds.

Wearing plate is fun. I do this as a rogue but mostly on accident. I STILL say rogues need a taunt.

BUT I DON'T USE THOSE SPELLS!
I meant that I would still pull aggro just the same...I want a seperate taunt button, so when I pop evasion, taunt, and die. I can finally say its my fault and not the scrub tank who couldn't keep up with my 6-7kdps threat.

Lol, it's still your fault without a taunt button. If the tank isn't too skilled or geared - You could, I dunno...hold back on the DPS a bit? ;)

As mutilate? Impossible. As combat, I refuse....
I don't tricks them either, I didn't get these crutches when I was gearing up my tank! AND I HAD TO WALK UP HILL BOTH WAYS.
A tank in 219s can hold aggro on people busting 8k+. I know. I did it, Often.
As for the skill thing, if they aren't skilled enough...They deserve my blood all over them!
I am the king of off-topic.
