One thing that I think should be pointed out is how much you are also dependent on other players. If you don't have a good healer then blam you are dead -- there's no running away or vanishing/feign death/invisibility. That's a hard thing to get used to, that if things go wrong there's no escape for you and it requires surrendering a certain sense of control. The other thing is obviously DPS. If all the DPS running around have 2-3 gear leavels on you then threat is going to be a problem and unless they learn to control themselves it makes it even harder in trying to be a tank.
