Welcome to my first guide ever made, I do hope I can help some people with this.
Lately, I've been farming alot, because of the high repairbills and I asked myself "
Maybe I should go farm many mobs at the same time?
". I mean, being able to pull lots of mobs with no downtime at all, loads of cooldowns to blow and whatnot is totally
awesome
. So I decided I needed to create a spec for it, sure, normal tanking spec works, but I want the best! Now with dualspec, things get easier.
This
is the one I suggest. I'll list the talents and why I took them below.
Protection tree:
Shield Specialization
- More Block, more proccs from
Critical Block
and less damage taken.
Improved Thunder Clap
- More damage for one of your most potent AoEs, what more can you ask for?
Incite
- I don't even see why I should explain why to take it.
Anticipation
- Less damage taken.
Last Stand
- Very good "oh *!@#" button, and very powerful with
Enraged Regeneration
.
Shield Mastery
- Again, why explain this one?
Improved Disciplines
- If you pulled a little too much to swallow, this is a very good talent. Can be replaced with other.
Concussion Blow
- Mostly a filler, has its uses as well.
One-Handed Weapon Specialization
- Actually, I have no idea why I took this one...
Focused Rage
- Duh, less rage cost, more pewpew.
Improved Defensive Stance
- Less damage taken and more pewpew.
Vitality
- Moar HP and Expertise is nothing bad with.
Warbringer
- Totally
awesome
when pulling mobs that are spread out or jumping from pack to pack.
Devastate
- Something to spam when everything is on cooldown.
Critical Block
- As stated, this together with
Shield Block
you will take no damage at all plus you will damage
alot
.
Sword and Board
- Totally awesome.
Damage Shield
-
PEWPEW!
Shockwave
- If you even question me at this one, I swear to god...
Fury tree:
Cruely
- More crit, more pewpew.
Booming Voice
- You can pull mobs who are spread out with
Demoralizing Shout
.
Armored to the Teeth
- Much more AP considering you have 20.000+ armor.
Improved Cleave
- Woah, this is awesome. With the
Glyph of Cleaving
you'll do even more pewpew.
Arms tree:
Deflection
- Less damage taken.
Improved Charge
- Good initial rage when pulling a pack.
Glyphs:
Glyph of Enraged Regeneration
- Totally awesome, you can use this during a fight or after a fight.
Glyph of Shockwave
- Less cooldown on one of your most potent AoEs?
YES PLEASE!
Glyph of Cleaving
- Very good if you also put talents in
Improved Cleave
.
If you have anything to add/change, please do!

The only thing really worth it that you get over a regular tanking spec is Imp. Cleave. Not really worth a respecialization. A normal prot spec does just as fine at AoE grinding, and you also lack Deep Wounds which adds to AoE damage.
