I'm not to worried about my stats for tanking heroics, but more how to actually do it. Now for heroics, I'm talking about just heroic ramps/furnace since my gear is still a little soft; all blues and gem/enchanted but still not anything special.
I usually start out the normal dungeons using avenger shield to pull and start building some easy aggro, then hit concecrate and go from there. I usually end up pulling 3 or 4 mobs at a time and don't have any problem holding aggro or even just surviving. With heroics though, I know that the mobs are quite a lot stronger.
I tried running heroic ramps a few days ago, and just couldn't quite get the hang of it since the rogue I was with would always sap, making it impossible to pull with avenger shield and making gaining aggro a little more difficult. Long story short, didn't do to well, only got to first boss before group fell apart due to time constraints.
So I've been thinking that having a hunter as cc would be better for me since I could then always pull with avenger shield and just have hunter trap one mob while the other 2 (usually in groups of 3 it seems) use me as a punching bag and the dps guys just do their thing.
How do other pally tanks handle beginning heroics where your gear is not bad, but nothing epic? Also if I can't find a hunter for cc and am stuck with a rogue, should I let him sap the target and then just pull the other mobs by running into their aggro radius?
