Indeed, as my druid reaches 70 I'm seeing what an outstanding tank she makes. I agree completely with Faendalimas on this subject. Just yesterday I tanked Durn the Hungerer at level 67 and did a fantastic job at keeping aggro, despite two mages unloading in my group. The job of a tank is to keep that aggro, and take the hits. Some bosses have AOEs or will randomly attack other group/raid members, and that's unavoidable, but as a rule the boss should stay on the tank from 100% health till dead. That means no shifting for a feral tank...stay in Dire Bear form and keep applying Mangle, Feral Faerie Fire, Lacerates, etc. If something goes horribly wrong and you just can't get aggro back, you will likely wipe anyway. If your group/raid understands how threat works they will stop attacking the boss in that case, allowing you to growl and gain aggro once again. I've tanked plenty of 5 mans with my feral druid and she is in demand as a tank by the people whom I have tanked for. I look forward to tanking in Kara as well.
