I'm thrilled at this guide - My main is a hunter, but for my baby pally I wanted to learn to tank before I hit 80 after watching (and wiping) as several guildies learned to tank after 80. Before the new dungeon tool, I'd given it up as lost since finding a group was impossible on my server. Perfect timing!

Now that I'm feeling like I've got a decent grasp of how to tank, how the hell do you get the rest of the pug to let you actually do it? Do you have to sit down the second you get into the instance and have a "party dynamics 101" lecture? Between rogues pulling everything in the room, druids who are supposed to be healing going bear and running into melee, and all the other craziness I've run into in the last week, how do you convince your group to let you do your job?

This. A thousand times this!

(Hunter Pride!)
I cannot tell you how many times I've had a warlock with thir void out (and pulling) or a pet with growl on (and pulling) or a ret pally who uses the single target taunt in his damage rotation (and... pulls.)

Random PUGS are hell.
