3) What about when I get to Cata zones? Can I tank stuff right up to 85 in random crap?
yes, and the dungeon drops are good so you will be pretty well geared as soon as you hit 85.
4) OH GOD I STARE AT MY ACTIONBARS CONSTANTLY This isn't really a question, is it. It's a terrible habit, though.
change your key bindings so that your primary action bar is bound to the number pad on the right side of your keyboard. 4/5/6/0 are your main moves. once that become familiar, experiment with alt & ctl modifiers to the number pad (shift doesn't work, because that makes them special keys)... although you shouldn't
need
more than 10 abilities to tank successfully (i think i could do it with just 3).

Why would you bind abilities to the num pad?
It helps players like me, who initially hated using my mouse and don't find the numbers above QWERTY to be easy to reach. Having one hand centralize on WASD and the other on your number pad seemed an excellent fix for this. It didn't work perfectly for me, so I'm still tinkering with how I'm controlling my toon, but for some I can see why it would be perfect.

It's actually easier to bind your bound spells where they're most comfortable around your left hand, and turn/target with your mouse. That goes for any class/spec.
For you. It's easier for you. Not everyone plays the way you do.

So you believe that there's a significant portion of people playing with their left hand on WASD, their right hand on the num pad and neither utilizing the mouse?
LOL
No, I believe everyone has a different form of controls. I personally have moved to the method you described, with no clicking of abilities. I know a prominent mage on his server in real life and I have noticed he is a big clicker, he would never dream of using his number keys to use his abilities. Also, my fiancee started out using only one hand to play and she would switch between pressing the arrow keys and clicking abilities with the mouse. What I believe is that everyone plays differently, even if just a bit, and there's no way that there can be a universal "easiest method".
