Conquering my fear of tanking!

[Sagittarian]

Honestly I'm preferring Dark Knight, but that is Heavensward stuff.

The short form..
Paladin:

1. Main aoe aggro generator does no damage but is circular
2. Cool downs used to reduce damage
3. Struggles a bit until 40 and getting shield oath
4. Stun attack is on the global cooldown timer
5. Edit: Only tank class with a silence attack

Warrior:

1. Main aoe aggro generator does damage but is cone shaped
2. Takes more damage but has more hit points
3. Aggro generation is always decent
4. Stun attack is off the gcd but has a long cooldown
5. Edit: Has to worry about wrath stacks (assuming defiance)

Dark Knight:

1. Main aoe aggro generator does damage and is circular
2. Cool downs used to reduce damage and has attack to regain hp
3. Starts at 30 because HW class :P
4. Stun attack is off the gcd but has a long cooldown (Edit: but can be reset by procs)
5. Has to manage mp as well as tp for abilities
