How to make tanks more fun to play (devs please read)

[therpgfanatic]

People aren't eschewing tanking jobs because they aren't fun. People stay away from tanking jobs because they are stressful. If you derp it up as a DD, folks may not even notice - even if you die, it typically just means DPS slows for a while (which, admittedly, can sometimes mean the difference between a win and a loss). If you screw up as a tank, though, a wipe often soon follows. I don't really see anything on the original post's list of recommended changes that would make tanking a less stressful job...

A lot of the changes I recommended would increase the ease at which threat is generated by Paladins. Currently I lose threat if I do anything but spam an uncomboed Rage of Halone, and in certain fights it is hard to off-tank because I cannot generate enough burst threat with every ability tied to GCD (oh yeah I provoke, get one ability in but then lose aggro completely). And then the GCD change would allow me to actually stun during a Halone combo. I also made a suggestion to improve Cover so it is less cumbersome to use.

I'm not sure what to suggest with Warriors, as I haven't leveled one to 50 yet. But the post has a lot of things that would greatly reduce the stress of tanking.
