    Tanking is very gear dependant. I have had a few tanks with a scant 10-20 points of HP higher than me. Every chest we opened I silently rooted for a new chest plate for the tank.

    I am currently working on a level 17 glad, and I will say this it is harder than it looks.
    I finished satasha last night and am now ready for tam-tam. Some classes do such awesome burst damage >>archers<< that they can pull any mob simply by attacking it.

    Your suggestions on focus and marking are good ones. I haven't given up on my now 32 whm, just seeing how the game plays from another perspective.

    Thanks Tanks!

    There's 2 aggro bars and both of them are useful as a tank. I'm surprised the current target aggro bar hasn't been mentioned here because it's the most accurate and very useful on the main target.

    Current target aggro bar:

    As you can see in the yellow-highlighted area of the screenshot, there is a bar next to yours and your party-members HP bars. This is a scaled indicator (0-100%) on how much enmity you and your party members have towards your current target.

    Group of enemies aggro bar:

    Red Circle/Square (flashing) = 100% enmity (you are being attacked)
    Orange Circle/Square = 75-99% (be really careful)
    Orange Triangle = 50-74% enmity (be careful)
    Yellow Triangle = 25-49% enmity (not much to worry about)
    Green Circle = 0-24% enmity (nothing to worry about)
