It was my first time being a tank of any class, and I felt like I could have done better. I'm thinking of switching from a feral build, so people won't ask me to tank. I'm more comfortable being a healer. All the flashes from the spell effects go off right in front of you, it's kind of blinding, and difficult to keep track of what's going on elsewhere. Wailing caverns was the instance btw, and I was a decent level at 22.
The pug group wasn't good, but I can't put all the blame on them, I felt like I could have done a better job. But we had a 15 warrior, who I felt was too low, and a 16 druid healing me. He went out of mana once causing me to die (perhaps my fault for moving too fast), and was put to sleep by the druids a second time (we all wiped there). And a hunter not using a pet. I know some people don't like hunters to bring pets in instances, but a hunter is my main. Pets make up a good portion of their dps. Bows don't do as much dps as regular 2 handed weapons (on a meleee class such as paladins, warriors, or shaman)
My biggest problem is aoe threat generation. I don't appear to have any. mages will frost nova, and everyone is attacking different targets it seems. So I resulted in attacking one target a few times, moving to another target, growl, and attack it a few times, then move to a third target. Usually by this time I'll lose the first target.
Does demorilzing roar build any threat? or am I just wasting rage on that? I use the stun move when I can, but it has a long cooldown. I know stun generates good effect. But in the end I had to use that for the runners, as nobody else was slowing them. Hunter should have been using concuss shot on runners, but he wasn't.
warriors get 10% more threat generation, we don't have that do we? Seems like the most I can do is outdamage everyone. So I was moving so fast to try to get in 1 or 2 hits before the fireballs came in, it may have been my fault the other druid healer went out of mana. But if I didn't move, the mages would start attacking without me.
