just recently rolled a warrior since my hunter hit 80 and I still havn't dealt with my altoholism, and was planning on using the dungeon Finder to do a lot of those old dungeons as I'm leveling since I can queue as a tank and pretty much get in without a wait, and currently 2 instances in it's been pretty fun, only problem I'm running into, other than dumb dps, is rage starvation, not having charge to open up with while in defensive stance being my main problem, can't wait to finally get warbringer.
So I'm looking for any advice out there for low level tanking, thanks a bunch
and sorry no armory link, apparnetly I'm not high enough level to rate being on there yet

As I said in a previous thread:
Once you get
Stance Mastery
, you'll keep that 10~ rage from the charge, and can then charge into combat, quickly hit the macro again (so it puts you into Def. Stance BEFORE you melee hit the mob), and then have something like 10-15 rage already set for a Thunder Clap.
Personally, my little tank is using both Thunder Clap glyphs (
Glyph of Thunder Clap
&
Glyph of Resonating Power
) because TC is your BEST way to get AoE threat until you get your full arsenal in the higher levels... hell, I think its still damn useful even then.
edit: Also, liberal use of
Bloodrage
is a good idea as well. That extra 20 rage instantly can help when some "helpful" DPS butt pulls a second group while you're sitting at 5 rage.
My tank is:

Check out the
Glyph of Bloodrage
also wonderfully useful and I still use it at 80

That glyph doesn't help with rage issues whatsoever. Yeah, it'll save a sliver of health since the bloodrage cost is in base health and not max.
It's worth a minor glyph slot though, but probably not the first one you get.

That major glyph is terrible at level 80. It might be alright for lower levels, but certainly should take a back seat to
Glyph of Cleaving
.

Improved Charge
and
Tactical Mastery
coupled with the charge/def stance macro are my personal recommendations. Try to get those asap, makes low level tanking a whole lot easier.

You should try reading the posts before responding. He's talking about tanking low-level instances. What do glyphs at lvl 80 matter?

thanks a bunch for the tips everyone, especially Grumbly for the macro, I suck at writing them
lots of little tricks I didn't realize were possible, like the bloodrage out of combat to stop rage loss

I actually said Thunder Clap is damn useful even at higher levels...
I leave it up to the individual to find out what glyphs work for their particular playstyle at level 80.
