I love it. I simply cannot get enough of it. As I posted in the accomplishment thread the other day, my paladin dinged level 70 at approximate 2 am on April 26. I had about 5 pieces of gear waiting for him and when I dinged 70 I was already uncrittable with about 11.5k HP and over 60% passive avoidance.
Since then I have tanked everything I could get a group for. I even got dragged into a heroic Slave Pens by a desperate group and the run went fine without a single death.
The only problem I'm having is I'm simply addicted to tanking with my pally. I love the rush of having entire groups of mobs beating on me at one time with just some guy I don't know throwing heals on me to keep me alive.
I think what got me hooked was a Shattered Halls run the other day. We got to that point towards the end where there are the gladiators on the sides fighting and the groups of 5-6 mobs in the middle of the walkway. Well at one point we pulled one of the side groups and out hunter's pet pulled the next group of 6 mobs as well. I threw out a taunt on the hunter's pet and laid down and fresh consecrate and tanked all 9-11 mobs at once. I actually think our healer had a heart attack when he saw 11 mobs on me, but he managed to keep me alive and nobody died.
Maybe I have been blessed with better than average PUGs so far. Maybe pally tanking in 5-mans really is just easy-mode. I really can't say.
What I can say is, "I can't stop doing it!!!".
