warrior tank builds?

I started a new char with a bunch of friends when BC came out.

I'm a warrior, and i'm actually liking it a lot. Since we generally have 5 man groups all the time, i generally end up being the tank, and was wondering if anybody had some good suggestions for specs, or at least knew of a place where i could find some good ones.

I know ben reed seems to know all about this warrior shit.

i'm only level 25 at the moment, but i really don't do much soloing so that's not really a problem. it's pretty much all group work.

I'm no expert, but since no one esle has responded...

As a tank, you want to a) hold aggro and b) mitigate damage. I suggest thinking first about talents that help you hold aggro, since your toughest enemies are probably your rogue and mage friends having their damage meter wars. You can of course tank fine without spending talent points towards it, especially for your next 20 levels or so. But as you say, if you're virtually never soloing, you might as well spec for your group role.

I'd suggest something like this for level 25: Wowhead Talent Calculator (http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=TZVZfV00o) Anticipation or Toughness could be chosen instead of Shield Specialization - I don't really know which is going to work out best for you. They all relate to mitigation, and I suggested Shield Spec because it might cost you less rage than the other two (all cost rage since you are taking less damage, which means less rage available for abilities that hold aggro) and it will light up Revenge more often, which is a great threat builder.

For your next levels, I'd fill up Defiance and then Last Stand. Other talents to get further along include Improved Sunder Armor, Improved Taunt, Concussion Blow, One-Handed Weapon Specialization, Shield Slam and Focused Rage.

You don't need a tank build until endgame.

don't go prot untill 70

and do this

go fury while you're leveling!

Pretty much, nearly all protection talents are geared towards holding aggro and mitigating damage and what not. What is doesn't have it much (if any) real DPS skills. Your best bet is to work on either Arms or Fury (depending in your preference) and just wait to respec at 70.

okay, with the general consensus being no prot til 70, any good fury levelling builds?

I could post mine tomorrow, does a reasonable job and I get crits like crazy. But I'm veyr certain someone else has a better build. So if no one posts until tomorrow I'll throw mine in here. Then there'll be 4 replies within 6 minutes on how lame it is.
