Why more people should try tanking!

I'd like to chime in on this!

There are three main reasons why I avoid playing a tank:

1. My friend mains tanks, and I always queue with him. In 4-man content, this gives him a monopoly on tanking. Raids and trials are the only times we could duo tank, but I feel like I'd contribute a lot less as an off-tank compared to healer. So, it's overall better for the group -- and more rewarding for me -- to play a healer.

2. Tanking rotations seem boring. My friend mains DRK, and it looks cumbersome to play, whereas Paladin and Warrior seem too simple. It looks like they do the same things every pull, every boss, forever. I feel like I'd get bored. ^^

3. Tanks don't seem to be in control. A tank who deals DPS, maintains aggro, positions enemies perfectly, and uses his cooldowns effectively is still at the mercy of the healer.

I kind of want someone to convince me otherwise, honestly. It's why I'm here. xP
