Fighting Deathwing's body parts is, with due respect, a rubbish idea. I don't want to hear that anyone's raid has Elbows on farm, but has hit a wall on Knees.

For the most part, I agree with you.
On the other hand, I think it would be HILARIOUS to read about that sort of thing. ^_^

I can imagine some ways they could do it fairly well. First you fight Deathwing in his human form. Then you fight him flying about (melee and tanks get to play with some adds I guess). Then you harpoon him and drag him down and climb aboard. Then you pry off his armour plating and fight his angry molten blood. Then when all his armour is gone you have to fight giant angry molten dragon (massive raid damage! Yay!).
This could be one fight with *lots of phases, or they could divide it up into several fights - I'd imagine his human form could easily be one fight. You defeat him, he chucks some loot at you to distract you while he goes to "change into something more comfortable" OH GOD ITS A HUGE ARMOURED DRAGON.

Ending the show on "Horde Bros" was the most epic win I've heard in a while.

I think I disagree with Rossi saying that Paladin and Warrior tanking are similar to the point that the difference between them becomes insignificant.
I have an 85 Warrior and Paladin that I'm doing Troll heroics with now, and I find myself paying attention to different things and having different concerns on each. The Paladin AOE threat feels natural. It just happens with Hammer of the Righteous, Holy Wrath, Righteous Shield, and Consecrate. The Warrior can do it with the Rend/Thunderclap and Shockwave as well as (to a lesser extent) Cleave. The Warrior feels much more cooldown-dependent on a fight like Dragonhawk where the Paladin seems to always have some AoE he can use.
On the other hand, the Warrior has the feel that he can almost always shut casters down. Knowing that I'm going to go in against casters, I can Pummel, Reflect, Shockwave, and Concussion Blow them. That doesn't even count Heroic Throw and Charge (talented) which shuts down openers for the target and his buddies. The Paladin has his one interrupt and the long-cooldown stun (single target) and long-cooldown shield (depending on procs). Like the AoE tanking, my Paladin feels like he has to more actively manage cooldowns and has a couple fewer tools when it comes to dealing with casters.
The big different between them, and where I think the Paladin has the advantage is how hard he is to kill. He has three separate damage mitigation tools and a big 'oh crap' button: Divine Protection, Ardent Defender, and Guardian of the Ancient Kings, then if those don't work, he can always Lay On Hands. The Warrior seems to 'borrow' health with Rallying Cry and Last Stand, and with talents can self-heal when the enemy is below 20%, but those heals don't truly heal since the health disappears after a time, and the self-heal is proc dependent.
I have a hard time picking beween them sometimes. The Warrior feels meaner, and can practically teleport anywhere he needs to be with Charge Intervene, and Heroic Leap, and he has more interesting skills. The Paladin can always get his skills off instead of sometimes being rage starved at the beginning of fights, and he feels more difficult to kill.
They may be cousins in a sense since they have identical gear configurations (plate, shield, 1h weapon), closer than DK tanking which I've begun to try and is a different species of tanking. Can't speak to Druid tanking. Haven't tried it. Paladins and Warriors are different enough for me to have difficulty deciding between them sometimes since they are fun in their own ways.

AMG they answered my question!

I feel like this episode should be entitled "Tank Talk"

"Why do you think they [The Draenei] get along with the Night elves so well?" XD This made me laugh out loud.
The poor Night Elves.

No weekly news update this week? WTH? :(

After listening to the show, I realized I want to be a Twilight Cultist. I was disappointed in Cataclysm. I want it to burn with enough left so I can dance on its grave. Looking forward to Blizcon and hearing about the next expansion.
Where can I join up to eagerly await the welcome destruction of this world?
