Hey i want to level a tank class for WotLK and i cant decide between the 3 Warrior, Paladin or Druid. I would love to be a MT as i really enjoy raids and id prefer to MT. So which class would be the best MT for WotLK which can also easily switch to a dps class if needed (Don't mention healing i hate it).

easily switch to a dps class if needed
druid - feral is dps and tank at the same time (1 click away, that is)
but they aren't considered for MTs, so paladin and warrior are your choices. But none of those can easily switch to dps.
warriors are usualy much more considered as candidates for MT (I can see hordes of tankadins arguing how good pala can be as a MT, but that doesn't change the fact I wrote), and paladins for multitanking.

Paladin generalizations hurt me...
Yes, all 3 can be MTs. Druid, and then warrior are easiest to switch over to DPS. Yes, paladins can tank several mobs better than any of the other two, but that does NOT make them worse MTs. Moreover, if you tank a boss as a paladin, you bring some extra raid utility. Yes, sunder is nice, but mana/hp is also nice.
Warriors are balanced I guess. Being overgeared for a certain place hurts paladins more than any of the other two. As a paladin
main tank
I like having a druid offtank, because I can take an extra add, and they can switch to cat form and put some DPS out. Warriors, not so much.

I may be biased, but when I'm doing 5 mans I always look for a paladin tank first, drood second, and warrior last.
Paladins I look for first becase they don't need CC, they bring group buffs, and they can hold aggro on several mobs easily, which makes everyone else's job easier. There are too many utilities to name, so I won't.
Druids second because of their high health, and they seem to be able to keep threat pretty well.
Warriors I look for last, partly because of the fact that many of the people who play warriors on my server don't know how to. Also it's because they need more CC and have more trouble holding the attention of multiple mobs, which means we usually progress more slowly. Warriors are (in BC) the easiest class to tank with, and easiest to gear as tank. Expect that to change come November 13 however.
All just my opinion.
