Trusts might be a good option. You can get comfy with small pulls in a low stress environment. Then when you want to jump into DF you'll have that part down.

I got tanking fully under my belt recently and I just had a small macro to say "Healer main getting into tanking. Please excuse me if I falter." YMMV due to DC, but groups on Aether were lovely and very supportive. Try a wall to wall and if it doesn't work, you can always dial it back. Or try small first and if you're good then work up to it. If you've played another role then you'll probably find the things you don't want to see in tanks running in your head and you'll be aware enough to try to avoid them.

It really does. Go around 90 tanking then get a lower dungeon where I don't have HoC and it can get hairy.
