I have lately started rotating through my characters and that has worked nicely. My warlock is at 81.5 (and despite originally disliking underwater stuff, I took her to Vashj'ir and like it (again)). My resto shammy has gone from 73 to 77 (again exclusively healing /lfg instances), my rogue has finally made 65 and skilled her LW from 375 to 410 (now waiting for more Borean Leather from the Shaman). I am planning to include my level 14 worgen warrior next. I want to split his levelling evenly between questing in the redone zones and tanking /lfg instances. I have a little under a level before I can start using /lfg and want to use it to get ready. I know the basic, class-independent tanking basics from my bear druid (who was levelled through /lfg, too), so I'm looking for advice that is prot warrior specific. - I know I nead a shield and 1H weapon to tank. I will keep an eye on the AH but so far haven't found any good low level shields there. Can someone recommend an alliance quest that rewards a ~ level 15 shield with prot warrior stats? - with my druid I first stacked talents that increased damage for better threat generation over damage mitigation talents. Should I do the same for my warrior? With the new talent system I won't be able to spread my points into two trees. Should I first put points in a non-prot tree and later respec into prot, or is speccing into prot from the start viable, both for tanking and questing solo? - what stats should I focus on? I guess +sta for a higher HP pool, +dodge/+parry/+block for avoidance (I seem to recall one of these have gone), which to focus on? What do I pick for threat generation +str or +agi? I have Aloft for nice nameplates to see who has threat, I have Grid (mainly for healing) but I also like it on my warrior so I can see if anyone takes damage. - are there warrior specific addons that you would recommend?
