Tips for starting tanking?

[PetiteMalFleur]

Wow, I'm surprised at the negative responses. Tanking is really easy and fun. Holding hate is not an issue if you are properly geared and know what you are doing, especially as a MRD. (Read all your skill tooltips.) Well geared players are level synced and you actually have an advantage over them if you have non level synced hq gear. The biggest issue I see with new tanks is just pulling really slow and taking extra time to mark every mob, which can slow the run to a crawl. This is unnecessary since you'll be using overpower anyway on everything. Just keep in mind these dungeons should not take more than 20 minutes to finish so slow pulls may cause the party to get impatient. Going at a reasonable pace is fine for most groups.

If you really want to mark mobs use a macro to quickly mark everything at once.
