I think that's the thing that makes tanking so appealing to me. For me, the most important thing about tanking is keeping your party alive so I'll put postioning and cooldowns over concerning myself with DPS. From what I understand, the whole DPS thing comes from the raiding scene which I don't do so I could care less about the kind of meta those most people cocern themselves so much with. I do like big numbers but as long as I'm doing my job as a tank, I'm alright. The rotations are some of the easiest in the game in my opinion...I think DPS and Healer roles are much more difficult.

Tanking is a breeze, pull things, hold aggro, use cool downs (the healer will love you) and let the DPS kill shit.
