hmm, tanking up tp the 50's as ret is fun... top dps and dsmage taken is very possible. how ever i'd agree with capjack that this is a fair trade. i rolled ret on my second pally because i wanted dps+support (first pally is holy). if i really wanted to tank i'd have rolled a prot pally. this will allow my retadin to be what i created her to be.
side note... if you really must tank ret in the 50's just take 5 points in prot or somewhere else in ret instead of fanatacism... extra crits on judgements is nice, but if you're tanking, it not necessary.just get this when you hit the 60's and are done tanking.

i would not consider rolling with RF and a 2Her tanking, even though i've done it countless times. truth is, pre-60 almost any class can tank if they are a few levels above the mobs. a Ret pally can only hold aggro with a 2H, switch to a shield for dmg reduction and you might as well be *****-slapping the mobs.
Blizz seems to have hardwired a gift for us, saying "If you want dps we wont let you tank, now choose"

My raids feel empty with less than 3 pallies. We QQ over not having Salv, Wis and Kings on the locks.
We did Maulgar with 7 pallies last night. even mages had Might!
