People need to know that being a tank in a guild is harder then anything else.Because the good guild that do bt and from 2.4 Sp only need 2-3 warrior as tank.If the dps and the healers come and go all guilds like to have a tank that is going to "bleed" for this guild and is not going to leave with the fist wave.So generally the tank are people that the guild has a lot of trust and are there for a long time.
An other aspect is that is hard to gear up a tank so u don't want to use on people that are going to leave and there is no raid without a good gear tank.
That is important that you follow the advice Yakra tell here.(i want to thx u for this guide,great ideea )
I am a tank for a long time and i can say if u have seek people that want to do kill and try new boss then there u should be.
So be aware that u need to chose a good guild that wants to grow a good tank.
Btw i quit playing for a while but u can check my gear on

... focus on good practice - outland's dungeons are great training grounds for skills you'll need during your level 70 tanking career.
I couldn't agree more!

I only recently made a wowhead account. I've been a tank since open-beta and personally I could debate some stuff with you guys, but overall this is one of the best guides for a beginning warrior I've ever read. Just wish there had been more of these when I was starting out.
I also whole heartedly agree with the above couple posts. Practice is the best thing you can do. Find a group of people you get along with and be their tank. In the long run it will help you if the group you run with is diverse and/or there's more than one group of people you can tank for, but otherwise some practice is better than none.
To ironmike specifically, since you're wondering about your stats, Yakra's suggestion would be the best for you. At that level you mostly just need to worry about your stam. Most of the other stats will come with the better tanking pieces you'll find in Outland.

Lol, good call Gengetsu! It was such a riot when I refreshed the page & was like, "Holy cow!"
I vote we leave it just the way it is on the front page -- I'll revise mine all over again & we can match,=0

Though I never intend to tank anything above 5-man on my warrior, I've been playing him as protection since my first talent point, and, as such, many of your tips are still applicable/helpful to my play style. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this guide together. (=

Removing defense is not recommended. Any minor gains in stamina will be lost through the lowered avoidance. Avoidance can directly increase your time to live, just as armor increases the value of stamina.
The decision is quite simple: do you need the defense rating? For Karazhan, you will. For now, while you use the S1 shield, you can dip down to 477 defense. As long as you're crit immune without the helm enchants, you will be crit immune afterwards. Determine that & then you can pick whichever helm enchant you want.
