Nay, I meant the 'experience' of tanking is a curve, not the rotation and whatnot. Your comparison with the DPS rotation isn't what I meant but its exactly how you've described as a healer learning to precisely time their spells.

Those healers have to run a lot of things to get better and better with the timing and what to cast. The same experience is needed to tank where you need to run things over and over to know how to position yourself, how to pull, etc. Some people when they see a tank position a boss towards a wall, they take it for granted but a lot of people actually had to learn about that in the first runs, therefore the steep learning curve.

All of this factors in that it is a brand new tank with 0 tanking ability. I've handled more than my fair share in Sastasha, even Haukke. They have to learn this, learn that and it adds up to that first real experience push before you've settled down and can say, "I am a good tank."
