Great tips, especially concerning rage management. It makes a world of difference going into a pack of mobs with full rage compared to empty rage. Many packs have three mobs, and with high rage you can Cleave two and Sunder one, giving you excellent threat presence on all three mobs instantly.

spot on guide! the only thing missing imo is to really emphasize the impact of shouts to hold aoe aggro. whenever i tank more than 3 mobs, the only spell i press is battle shout. mark a skull, attack that mob to generate rage and just spam battle shout. i see lots of tanks spamming cleave for big pulls and thats a big no no. cleave replaces your white swing so that means you dont generate rage while youre spending rage on cleave.

Really interesting to see the tank's perspective. I've been priest heals on hardcore to date, never lost anyone in a dungeon yet but I've seen some great tanks, absolute morons and everything in between. I'd love to try tanking in future so this helps a lot

Rule #1: Never trust melee hunters... never trust ranged hunters.... you know what, just never trust hunters ever in any version of the game.

Historically, I usually build priests or shamans on classic WoW servers; however, I do currently have a LVL 36 hardcore warrior and am having so much fun in dungeon-cleave groups.

Unfortunately, I've recently discovered that tanking after BFD is no joke and that my warrior is most likely going to die very soon!

That being said, I am definitely going to practice your lessons on a normal server before going back into hardcore WoW. Thank you!

This guide is amazing. My brothers and I have been planning in doing a HC run. Im going to play a Druid and go resto boomie. Other bro is playing a warrior to plan on tanking. Last brother is playing a mage. We're playing Alliance do you have any tips for us? Which races should the Warrior play?

I've only tanked in classic on a druid. I tried to learn how to tank on a warrior, but it felt very awkward going into the protection talents. I guess I was doing it wrong. Thanks for the advice.

I actually ditched defiance and went 3/5 toughness to pick up 3/5 TM. Having just that little bit extra rage smooths out F/P clunkyness alot. It's a bit more risky I guess but threats been fine. So I spec 8/31/12 now

Fury prot is not bis for 5man dungeons lol... you dont have tact mastery and your rage generation will suck in 5mans.
2h arms will hold aggro better for trash and deep prot will give you more utilities for 5mans.
