30% passive speed on the curator fight? maybe you should re-read the tooltip of the talent?
To OP, I almost never do any kara tanking anymore since we have another geared druid that wants to do it, so I am fulltime dps and can hold my own very well.
Nightbane is one of my favorite fights as well :)
I have around 3k ap raidbuffed with trinket procs and ~37% crit for reference.
Other things that your guild should consider about your dps at least if you are OT:
how often is the meter reset? if you have to miss out dpsing on even one mob, you will be far down.
do you dps in dps gear or tank? heavy clefthoof in particular is crap for dps, obviously.
and in my own experience, you will get better with practice.
If you are being brought as OT for the entire run and switched out for "real" dps on 1-tank bosses I'd be absolutely furious. No loot for you?
If they keep doing that, consider a guild-switch or refuse to come as OT.
Let them see how well a prot warrior OT works compared to a druid.
That being said, you should do everything you can to be the best you can as
well. Bring a good set of dps gear with enchants and gems. Bring dps pots and
food. I guess your guild is the kind that will give everyone and their
grandmother dps loot before you, but at least get the best blues.
Also practice dpsing. First part of kara is bleed immune.
Make sure the dps meter is reset on maiden of virtue and equip your dps gear.
If the tank dies, the wipe is not your fault anyway. Show them what you can do.
