I reccomend leveling as prot if you plan to tank in the future, It'll give you an edge.
Agreed. I've levelled 2 warriors. The first, was done with no understanding of talent builds, based on what I was using at the time (ie This weapon looks good - I'll use that. Dunno what that ability (Shield Block) does - ignore it).
I got her up to lvl54 (Sep 2005) before she ran out of money on repairs.
I returned to warriors about a year later, and levelled this one specifically as Prot (Admittedly with my wife's priest for company). That was 60-odd levels of practice. Guess what? I'm a better tank for it.
Bad Pulls can be recovered from. I've been in fights where one accident results in 6-8 mobs wandering in, and 2 people ran for the exit. One escaped, but the other paused before the exit, and saw a nice controlled fight, came back and helped us finish.
I don't think that if I'd have levelled as an Arms/Fury DPS warrior I'd have even contemplated thinking about attempting that; With 60 levels of training / practice it was exactly what I'd been doing all along: Ho Hum, just another day on planet Draenor.
And as an aside, I saw an LFM from a lvl29 warrior looking for Deadmines players. He specified lvl 25+ ONLY. In all my characters, I've never been in DMs above lvl 23. Has DMs got significantly harder, or was this guy in need of someone to show him how to play?
