Tanking at 60

Hey all,

I am planning on rolling a warrior on the new PVE server. I played back in vanilla and was a protection warrior. I plan to tank some end game and maybe play around some on pvp battlegrounds. My question is I was looking at the old talent tree and trying to remember the viable specs. Could someone post the most acceptable specs at 60 for protection warriors? I am kind of looking for 2 different specs. Like full MT end game tank, and a OT/60 dungeon spec. I believe there was a 31/5/15 spec that was viable? Thanks for any insight.

This is what I use for maintank purposes:

The hybrid spec you mention isnt used by anyone these days to my knowledge. You can OT most shit as full fury or full arms.

You can run hybrid just fine, but only if you actially pvp, or you are not helping anybody with that spec. Also if that is what you want, you will be running with a nightfall in raid to help caster dps, and would act as guild 3rd/4th tank.

You dont have enough points to get everything needed in prot tree, i recommend 3/5 antic 3/5 imp armor, ,3/5 imp threat. But you have to get 1/3 imp shield blick to push crushing blows off the table.

Instead of 5/5 0/5 4/5 in def tree. Go 3/5 3/5 3/5.

Tank with alcorz or finkles and threat will be fine. When zg drops, tank with broodlord defender makes up for def points not taken, and sword spec from arms help a bit with threat. 6% armor is nice and helps for pvp as well.
