Lol, that takes me back! Seen it on world event bosses a few times,
but not in a real dungeon for some time - I'm guessing he was very
very high dps in order to hold aggro? ;-)

Tanking boomkins on worldbosses??

I remember he did ~240k dps overall.  Not awesome.  But also not bad 
either.  He demanded some heavy healing and I ended up pushing ~80k hps 
there so it was a semi-busy run for a healer as teh moonkin form has no 
mitigation.  And I'm used to pick my nose with a healing stream totem 
when I do a heroics, so... :)

Event bosses, like valentines etc.

Hehe :-) Impressed he could hold aggro, although it does seem a decent
dps figure, as long as there's no uber high dps in the group it's
likely plenty!
