"Just because we're warriors, doesn't mean we need to be Tanks"

Lies! Hang those who speak of DPS! ;)

More seriously, a DPS warrior will have a rougher time with 5 mans because of CC etc. Though, to be totally honest, if the tank demands every DPS have a CC ability, or the group says "yeah the last tank left", it may just be a sign that you don't want to be in that group anyway heh. I usually don't bother with CC anymore in any heroic except MGT when I am tanking. I run them more like a prot pally and just mark a first kill target. I usually have sufficient threat on the rest by the time that one dies.

Once you hit raids, a DPS warrior is usually appreciated. We love our fury Warrior.

Kids (I almost wrote people) simply can't understand that tanking is not supposed to be babysitting. It is supposed to be group effort. Just like healing should be concern of dps-ers too - to try their best not to take damage (whenever possible, ofc)

So the whole point of tanking (I believe the same is with healing) is about avoiding PUGs and having dps players that understand that they should also contribute to the group effort - meaning that tanking and healing are concerns of all party members, not only tank/healer.

Can we expect that in a 12+ game?

I also found that, for me, tanking is a walk over a thin line. If group is horrible, tanking is a nightmare. If group is really good, it somehow stops being fun. But when I play dps - I don't care much whether the run is going smooth or group is disaster - it is fun anyway (even more fun if group is kinda bad, since there is more to improvise!)

Anyway, it can not be overstated that WoW is a game, and should be fun only.

ok i have to start off pre bc all there was for wars was tanking unless you pvped
That is so horribly wrong. DPS warriors were absolutely awesome for pre-TBC raiding. They did great DPS and could tank pretty decently when necessary.

Well hopefully wotlk it will all be different, I'll spec fury for sure, looking forward to titan's grip, seen a video of a level 80 warrior on youtube in blue gear with only 56 hit rating, he doesn't really miss that much it looks sick! People need to stop worrying about it imo, it's a game, it will be fun, and blizz even said if fury dps is too low they will change the numbers around.

Anyways if I get asked to tank I'll say sure and slap on a shield and 2h, it will look insane! I saw DPS reports on the US wotlk beta forum of a warrior with a 2h and shield doing 1000 dps, haha.

Pre-TBC.

Arms Warrior = Megre DPS, little utility. (Could be good but needed insane gear)
Fury Warrior = Megre DPS, little utility. (See above)
Retredin = megre DPS, decent utility. (See above)
Wrong, wrong, wrongedity-wrong.
Fury warriors were among the very best DPS pre-TBC, and also brought a lot of utility since they could actually tank stuff decently. This is why guilds were stacking so many warriors for their Naxx raids.

It fits a lot better on fury warriors in TBC, since the DPS is a lot lower relative to other classes and the utility is reduced because they can't tank reliably.
