(no blessing of sanctuary) - not yet lvl for that
(no engineering bombs) - don't have that professions
(no mana drinking) - 90% of time i don't drink
(no improved seal of righteousness)
(food buff used)

(all talk about improved sor ) - imp sor gives extra 3 Holy Dmg by sor = 5 Threats per swing or 2.5 TPS which is 0.1% increasing on your aggro.

Current level i got 53 Intellect + buffs = (let say 60) which is 6 intellect increase by Divine Intellect or 90 Mana more which i more like to see my mana pool to have more control over overall situation.

Cheers and i hope you enjoy in Videos (i hate the music there).

Congrats?
I'm not really sure on the purpose or point other then the boasting here. I did the same thing yesterday, as Holy. I didn't need to be prot to tank SM. Grats non the less, I know its your desire to show the naysayers, so keep it up

I think this kind of thing has much value; not just in showing that we CAN do it, but also HOW to do it. The GY video made pretty much every time I tanked SM look clownish, and although I was a VERY experienced Pallytank on Live, NONE of that experience came until the TBC prepatch (and reworked talents + taunt), so as far as Vanilla Pallytanking goes, I'm a neophyte.

Granted, I feel @ 50 I have learned much since the SM levels, but I'm still able to learn a thing or two about technique from critically watching these, and as more than a few caster DPS, healers, and even a Warrior have complemented my 5-man tanking, and told me that I was the first Tankadin they'd ever grouped with who was any good, I can't possibly be the only Tankadin on this server who could learn from these kinds of videos.

JC, you or Theloras or Duki needs to make a partner guide to your pre-raid gear guide that talks just about technique, and maybe spec. And it shall be called...Stickied. =)

Well I think the biggest issue is the end game dungeons. I leveled to prot as 60 and did most of the dungeons (Stockades/Gnomer/Ulda/Maraudon/and ST) and everything was fine and dandy. Losing agro to DPS/Heals (95% of parties members didn't have KTM) was really easy to get back and mana was never an issue for me either.

Other than BRD, which is a breeze like the lower level dungeons, things start to get tricky. UD Strat isn't too bad either, but the roots/silences can cause issues. And for places like Dire Maul/Scholomance it easy to get your face melted with all the casters and holy shield is useless. On top of that DPS is use to warrior tanks who have far less downtime and its really hard to get through multiple trash packs without drinking in these higher level dungeons.

Another dilemma is if mechanics call for a threat dump you're pretty much screwed. Yes you can BoP whoever the boss goes for but you still won't be next on the threat list.

I am actually at a real dilemma now since I'm on the "Judgement and Righteousness" for our epic mount and I think my only option is to get in a group as an offtank. Rattlegore does that thing that punts the tank in the area and drops threat and without a taunt I don't know what I can do.

Leveling dungeons as prot = very easy. Almost mindlessly so.
60 dungeons = different story.

Though I have really enjoyed it

It's something different and I do really enjoy the challenge it brings.

Duki,I noticed that when you fought Ironaya, you pulled with JotC, and didn't use anything but SoR, and didn't lose aggro. Did you give everyone in the group Salv?

That is what always paladin Tank should do.

Salvation to group and Sanctuary to himself with exception to healers they usual get Blessing of Wisdom (unless there is someone else to do that) .

This is our job no matter what raid or dungeon .

But i am glad that someone finally notice that i don't need anything that jotc and sor on Bosses

(same rule apply for high end with some exceptions depend on situations) .

This is again an example of low level dungeons and the freedom you have. You have time to throw up crusader on a boss, and which to SoR.

In 60 dungeons, you can't get away with that unless you tell your dps to chill for 10 seconds.

I just want to make the point that the tanking in the videos is not what you can get by with in BRD/Strat/DM/Scholo/etc. You need to Judge Seal and pray he whacks you a few times with Holy Shield up and a few ticks of consec before dps unload. And yes, this is with Salv on everyone (much to their dismay mind you).

Not trying to be a naysayer, just saying there isn't anything groundbreaking here. A lot of Paladins level up as Protection and I think the community supports this.

The problem with protection Paladins is level 60/end game. :mrgreen:

TL;DR -

Not accurate unless you change "some exceptions" with "a lot, actually a ton of expections".

The difference between Warrior/Paladin tanks in lower level dungeons is a nonfactor. In every scenario in "high end" a Warrior is superior save maybe BRD where you can get 100 dwarfs to whack you and consume all charges of Holy Shield :3
