That's a rather, um, interesting analysis of the tank classes there. Druids are better multi-target tanks than warriors (not that either remotely compares to a paladin), so I'm not sure how you get warriors being in the middle there. Druids' single target advantage is in the very specific case of a hard-hitting boss that doesn't crush and has little to no spell damage. While druids can obviously tank things that don't fall perfectly into that description, they're no longer "advantaged" for doing so.

Personally, I hope they scrap this ridiculous idea of having Deathknights as tanks. Even if there are new mechanics introduced to allow them to tank with a 2H as has been the rumor, we simply don't need another tank class in the game, period.

Maybe they will be the first tank with the ability to ressurect players?
What?
