Some Blue Posts on Tanking Design Philosophy for Wrath
Looking through recent Blue posts, here are a few interesting tidbits regarding Tank design for Wrath.
Why I Will Definitely Roll a Death Knight
As I mentioned previously, I’m currently leveling a mage on a new (for me) realm. I picked mage for its fast pace and ease of getting to 70, because for many other classes, having a little stash of gold to buy the best gear available at the AH can make a lot of difference.

I added a section for durids on the blogroll:
Of Teeth and Claws caters to the tanking droods
Resto4life and Rawr! I’m a Tree specialize on the nurturing aspects of the saving-everyone’s butt kind.
