Tank vs. Healer
I have crawled all over the net looking for some very specific advice. I am currently a feral spec druid at level 66 (leveling fast) and would like to re-spec for resto. Here is my problem.
Question 1. How effective will a restoration druid be when asked to tank at my level? Will keeping a spare set of tanking gear (focused on strength, armor, and stamina) be enough to tank when asked to? The reason I ask is that I am usually called to do either healing or tanking and would like to be able to do both well. I am never asked to DPS, and that should come as no surprise, so I am feeling that while the feral spec was great for leveling, it is not very useful for grouping.
I also don’t feel that any hybrid spec is very effective. So I am either going down one tree or the other. I don't mind spending some points in other trees, but my understanding of the game is that one should really focus on one. This leads me to my second question.
Question 2. Since I won’t be spending a lot of points on the feral side (if any), what do I focus on to maintain agro. Let’s assume that epic gear doesn’t grow on trees, and I can’t get that gear that has + everything, which stats then do I really need? Can I ignore agility in favor of pushing strength as high as I can? Healing spells also generate agro, are there any tactics that a rest-tank can use that takes advantage of this?
The reason I wanted to know is that I (obviously) lack the experience needed to fully understand all the nuts and bolts of this game. I have researched the numbers, but what I want are opinions from people who have the experience that I lack.
