Cata tanking, thoughts so far?

So I'm a massive altoholic and currently I'm leveling several tanks, but none of them are 85 (or even 80) yet. So far I've found it easiest to tank with my paladin and my DK, both of which are in their 60's. I say easy because I have zero problems generating a ton of AOE threat, which has been nice for both vanilla and BC dungeons so far. I suspect I will continue to like both of these toons through Wrath, since there's a ton of AOE tanking to be done in all of those dungeons as well. Now, my warrior... I loved her until I got to Wrath. A lot of my problems were just a lack of experience in pulls and such, some stuff I managed to correct, like the order of pulls in AN for example. But I felt, especially after the talent changes pre-Cata, that I just wasn't able to generate enough threat on groups. Sure, I know that warriors can but I just failed at it and got frustrated so now my warrior is arms at 77.

So my question is which tanks do you like in Cata? I assume a lot has changed from Wrath, from AOE tanking to single target with all the crowd control. I know there's a lot of not-standing-in-the-bad encounters and stuff like that to learn, but is there a class of tank that you like now that you didn't like previously, or vice versa?
