Coming back after long break and am seeing that a lot has changed with SB (which I have purchased). Have mostly played healer since Everquest and and have an itch to try tanking. I'm interested in a Pally, but up through Heaven I read that Pallys were not necessarily the favorite at end game though I know many favored that class. I'll try to be specific in what I'm looking for:

1. Not hard to play. I'm a casual player so it might be hard to master a difficult class quickly. Easy to play is not boring to me.
2. Have never played a tank before.
3. Have really been trying to research but don't know if there is enough data yet on SB to determine how different tank jobs are working out in end game.

So my questions are:
1. Is the community here tolerant of new tanks as long as they own up they are new?
2. In SB, is Pally job more desirable now?
3. If Pally isn't looked on well, which tank job(s) is/are being successful?

Thanks!
