Hello everyone as you see im fairly new to these boards but i recently had some questions About our tanking abilities in bear and hoped people here might know ;).

First of all, i have recently started gathering alot of tanking gear and specced feral ( tank abilities ) and have some experience in normal 5 man dungeons and all i can say is a druid is ok when tanking a "Boss" we can hold aggro very well if we get some time about 5 secs to get 2 nice mauls on the target then the aggro is basicly ours.

But the problems start when doing bosses wich wipe aggro, knock you back or whatever stun ability wich makes you lose time and aggro.

Ive noticed using maul and Swipe is the best combo always try to get a maul on and when you have huge rage build then spamm swipe too.

why iwant to know this is becouse i would like to get a shot at tanking MC, onyxia or other bosses in the future ofcourse this needs experience aswell as good core gear, atm i just have the usual cenarion.stormrage gear and blue tanking gear from basic instances.

I have about 10k armor, 13% dodge, 325 defense, and 5700 ( soon with some enchants 6000) life unbuffed.

Why not more armor? since the reduction is not worth the loss of stamina and dodge, since 10000-11000 only increases the reduction a little bit etc. and Defense is much more important.

atm im working on more dodge and stamina and ofcourse defense.

What id like to know is the following:

how much hate do the following spells create:
Maul
swipe
Demoralizing roar
Feari fire(bear)

Normal hate generation from damage compaired to a warrior.
i have the +15% more hate generated talent so thats about the same as a normal prot spec warrior with +15% from defiance.

Thanks in advance, Lucide.
