Thanks for the preview as well. I've been a warrior tank (not that there is any other kind) since mid-BC, and grew of age, if you will, with coordinating CC through Shadow Lab, etc. Of course, as soon as Wrath hit, people started telling me I was going to slow and I didn't need to mark, but it now looks like that habit will have to return.

All of that said, I'm curious to see if we'll actually see a drop in tanks now that it's actually become challenging again in the 5-man setting to do a tank's job. In Wrath, once you're geared enough, you can basically tank any 5-man, regular or heroic, without much experience. With the re-introduction of having to coordinate CC, which no tank leveling for the first time solely through Wrath 5-mans, it should be interesting to see if the tanking ranks thin a bit. Also, we'll just have to wait and see if the Dungeon Finder leaves a bit to be desired in the first few months after the expansion, as you'll never know if you have a "Pre Wrath" or "Post Wrath" tank until you start the dungeon up.
