Just for funsies, here is proof that with proper gear you can tank anything in the game as a druid!

Ragnaros:

Onyxia:

Nefarion:

Nefarion tanking happened because of a bad phase 2 transition. I was tanking some adds but grabbed Nef so he wouldn't wipe the raid. We transitioned back to a warr tank after a min and after we stabilized. Thankfully no druid call happened or I probably would have died.

C'Thun next! (Imba pls)

Can druids tank most raid bosses in vanilla, especially for a guild that is already farming the content? Sure!

Would it be my first choice? No!

^ This.

I think what, Broodlord Lashlayer would be the only fight I'd prefer Bear over Warrior? I guess anything where TPS is a much larger issue as well.

sure you can tank giant tentacle arms and eyes as a bear. not like C'thun is anything special. even retail guilds had bears tank vek'nilash no problem.

only scary part was bear on nef and awaiting to see what happens during a druid call. ;)

Won't be a problem at all. You can just go into bearform again. The class call only happen for non feral Druids.
