I've given up tanking on my warrior intil the agro issues are fixed. Heroics have become a exercise in button mashing, taunting, frurious, frustration. I haven't tried tanking on my bear yet, but my dk and pally tanks had a MUCH easier time gaining and holding adds, as long as the dps didn't open up on them before I got a hit in. On my warrior I had to move my taunts to an easier to reach keybind as I've found I've been pressing them on cooldown.

I've really not seen any threat issues on my warrior, single target or adds. Hell, for the first time ever, I'm actually pulling adds off the paladin OT in ICC. Plus, single target is absolutely ridiculous at the moment. On Lord Marrowgar Wednesday night I pulled 8k as the tank. The dps warriors may have gotten smote this patch, but tanks can out pretty fantastic.

@Cliffbar:

Your experience, from what I've heard, is unusual. My guild's top Prot warrior was complaining about DKs pulling threat off of him on bosses (that may say more about DKs, but what have you). The reason you're pulling off of the paladin OT is probably because they got hit even harder by the changes than Prot warriors did, and may not know how to tank anymore. As to the single-target DPS numbers you saw, I can't comment due to lack of knowledge.
