    You missed the part where the tank is expected to catch every stray mob you pull and survive them, regardless of experience, gear or whether their cd's are up. Why would anyone play a gimp dps that is expected to herd chaos and play "chase the mob" while the real dps get to run around the dungeon like hyperactive 3 year olds waving their big numbers with zero blame if they die. That's why dps have a queue and tanks are instant.

    I don't think dps realize that by making tanking a miserable job to play, they've added a 5-30 minute queue to their instances to save 2 minutes. That's not what I'd call intelligent...

    I am a tank main, and I know for a fact when it comes to regular dungeon content when it comes to getting aggro it does not require any extra effort on my part. Dps and healers do not make tanking miserable but this self importance that tanks within this community seem to have. I mean as a tank during single pulls a I do not even have to pop any CDs.

    Personally as a tank I simply do not understand why tanks feel they are the life blood of the group.
