Two things...

*edited for a good nights sleep and humbling comments*

Thank you everyone for the input! I will try to set my brain to fingers filter on a higher lvl so I don't sound like a complete jackass in lowbie dungeons anymore. Just because I don't have a hard time tanking, even as a lowbie, doesn't mean everyone doesn't. It just takes me a while to get my

I have just gotten into RPing and WrA Is now my home.

Coupled with stumbling across an amazing guild, I am in love!

*sneaks this in here!*

One of my roleplay buddies is in that guild actually.

[xisidereal]

oh nice! Small world :D

Next time you see conobar on tell him Katren says hi XD

The closest I got to rping alliance side is when my worgen hunter broke down in tears when she finally regains her mind, is trapped in this bestial shape... and her loyal dog trots right up upon being summoned.

I don't know. I can't tank because being the leader would be hard on me. There's a lot of things that are easy for me though, but are hard for others. I don't go around telling them this when they're having trouble. /shrugs

[shire_wench]

Honestly, I wasn't trying to be mean about it. I was stating my opinion, and didn't even get to assess what -was- going wrong before they decided to kick me.

[forceiswithyou]

Yeah agree. I understand getting frustrated (forreal) but people have to build their skillset and sometimes that means failure. It's not easy for everyone to learn x thing.

[windsaga500]

They were just jealous of your pro dps :P
(lol i dunno)

Well, I usually don't say anything if the tank is having trouble. Eventually, from my experience, i let others get mad at the tank and then we end up with a better one after a queue. They were wrong to kick you though. Boohoo the tank can't take a bit of criticism. He probably doesn't even know how righteous fury even works prolly if he forgets to turn it on, but that's just me being mean :P

I have to go through a mental checklist on my paladin.

Righteous Fury up? Check.
Seal of Truth Active? Check.
Devo Aura running? Check.

Once these conditions are met, and often one or more need attention starting a dungeon or after a wipe, we are good!

OK, pull time!

I stare at the screen and think. "No, no it's not."

Actually, it really is. Aggro is harder to keep these days, with mostly everyone in heirloom and doing fantastic dps. I'm leveling a protection warrior - level 45 today - and you can be sure that a rogue or druid stealthing and then doing their high attack will make me lose my aggro and I will have to retaunt (which will be on cooldown, so hey, a few seconds of no tanking). Dps barely leave me a second to get aggro and generate rage, and that's when they are nice enough to not pull things for me. So yeah, I say tanking is harder than you think.

[askani]

Feral druids have cower pretty early. If they use the Omen addon, it makes the screen flash red when they have aggro so they can pop on cower which usually returns the aggro to the tank pretty quickly.

It's what I do anyway, when someone from here mentioned they used it. ^_^

[feitan]

It is more difficult now, but I don't find it all to be... rare is the day that I have to retaunt immediately after doing a rend and thunderclap (have 75, 51, 26, and 22 Prot Warriors, only 1 in chest heirlooms).

If they DPS before the thunderclap, I tell them to wait till they see it go off before they DPS. /shrug 2 cents

[sleepingbird]

Indeed, rend and thunderclap usually do the trick. :) There's just a good number of dps who barely give me time to rend, if they don't actually pull the mobs before me.
