no tutorial can gear your alt tank up, the only way to do that is to run heroic dungeons and raids. When you are doing that it will be nice for the dps not to have to pull there hair out (or just be bad and pull aggro). It will be nice for the hypothetical alt-tank to be able to focus on the job he/she will be doing once geared: managing survival and positioning. Do you really worry about threat when you are raiding with your main raid group? no those tanks have the gear to match the dmg dealers and it is not an issue.

I for one am on board with all of this threat mgmt is tuned for players in like gear, as soon as there is some unbalance tanking is NOT fun. Well, I suppose if you like tension headaches from clenching your jaw trying to hold mobs of much better geared players than it was fun. If that was your idea of fun, I suppose it is time to move on, WoW is eliminating that type of "fun".
