2. Only queue as a tank or healer if you can tank or heal.

Truer words were never ever ever spoken. And don't give us crap about how you can tank just fine as Ret, or Fury, or Arms, or Balance.

Sorry dude, I'm not interested in it, or your insults because you think you can make me tank in my DK just by switching to frost.

Queue as DPS and eat the wait, don't waste my time.

I think the key word here is 'can'. I've tanked all the heroics bar the new 3 as fury spec. There's nothing quick taunts and fast nukage can't solve. And besides, no undergeared tank can keep aggro on a group of ilvl 245/258 dps anyway. You can overaggro after one or two swings. So in essense, a dps specced tank is about the same as an undergeared on threat, but usually have massively more health and avoidance for bosses.

And as for HoR. Melee dps can kill the mage and priest without them being tanked. A good geared feral cat can help out simply by nuking those casters. (This applies to most instances btw).
