| I've since switched my Pally's spec to tanking again, as I'm pushing for his last few gear upgrades before hitting Karazahn. It's far easier to find a healer than it is a tank, unfortunately, so I have solved that issue by tanking the 5 mans. I'm completely sold on pushing spell damage...since spell damage is, after all, how a Pally tank actually attains and builds threat. The results have been sweet. So sweet, in fact, that my relatively undergeared Pally tank can hold mobs that are being blasted by DPSers in epic gear. I can't tell you how many times I toss Avenger's Shield, run around a corner to pull any caster mobs to me...then lay down consecrate, and have the caster DPSers in the group let loose with AOEs on them all. Quite effective, and no need for additional CC. They stay on my Pally, and our healer only needs to worry about healing *me.*
I play 2 other tanks...a warrior and a feral druid, and the Paladin is by far the best tank for the 5 mans.
