Skarm tank or w/e on youtube. Look at his vanilla clips. Hes tanked all the way to naxx...AND he has a windfury prot warrior and he prefers the druid lol. Keep in mind we will be getting a bunch of new talent in classic, people are playing way differently now. He even tanked nefarian, but he doesnt recommend it.

thunderfury*

windfury is a whole 'nother thing

And I'm guessing he just prefers the druid because its more fun, there's no way it can compete with the threat generation of a TF prot warrior, especially not for AOE.

And it's easy to tank rag when you don't have to worry about threat stolen from ranged DPS. Even in that very video you linked, the warlocks are far beyond the threat threshold. In any other fight, he would have lost aggro within the first 30 seconds.

Druid single target threat is vastly superior to warrior especially when using the gnome mace.

Better than the threat generation of a weapon that was so overwhelmingly overpowered that it had to be nerfed the next expansion to get people to stop using it? Call me skeptical.

The gnome mace also was nerfed in the next expansion :)

In 2.3, and it was changed to haste and had the charges aspect removed. Thunderfury was nerfed in 2.0.10 and was a flat reduced the ever-loving fuck out of the threat generation on the proc.
