Very, very good article. Pretty long, but a good read :) Keep it coming.

I could go for some stuff like this, focused around paladin tanks. ;) We seem to have slightly fewer options. It's sorta "be uncrush/critable but generate less threat," or "generate lots of threat but die much more horribly than druids and warriors," from what I can tell so far XD Then again, we can also unload a lot of threat right from the beginning...but, still. See, this is why we need a tankadin column. I do loves me some Light and How to Swing It, though.

Uncrushable and great threat is easy, I think I'm sitting around 425 spell dmg and 104% avoidance. The thing that is killing my pally is his fantastic ~55% block rating is only backed up by a pathetic 300 block value. Yes I don't get crushed but damn, every hit I take on a boss is 5k+. And right now the only block value gear I could get makes me take a huge loss to parry or dodge.

I second the Pally tanking column, it'd be great to have someone go into more detail like this article did.
