Is there a learning curve for tanking *alliance* raids?

One point that is probably worth mentioning is that tanking an alliance raid during the period it is still new content is an entirely different experience compared to when it's old content and the power creep has moved beyond it giving the majority of players an ilvl advantage that allows them to ignore or skip fight mechanics.

That is primarily true for the first two, where at minimum things just hurt less. The third raid effectively tier syncs so it remains pretty intact. But the effect is far worse on the earliest ones from ARR and Heavensward.

I also forgot about the random bouts of idiots spamming provoke because you keep pulling enmity off them by just doing your rotation but if you turn stance off the boss goes running around after non-tanks... >.>

I just keep it on. If they want to tank then they need to do more damage than me (or spam Provoke I suppose but that's lame). If even Provoke isn't enough for them then unfortunate for them.
