Did i roll the wrong class?

There will never be a shortage for a good Prot tank who can do 5-man instances.

There's never too many tanks -- unless you expected to be recruited by a "serious" raiding guild and showered with epics just because you hit 60 and can tank.

First off only the MT in certain guilds is stacked with epics for progression purposes. Getting that position in a guild like that requires you to be there from day one not to mention you won't stand a chance without being an expert on your class and nearly perfect attendance. For the OTs, they are generally geared the same speed as other classes (with the exception of a few reserves like the nef head).
Second there are too many tanks in the guild raiding pool since you only need a few for raids. The tank to group ratio in 5 mans is 1 to 5, while the average 40 man tank to group ratio is 1 to 10. Also tanks don't want to deal with dum dums in pugs when they can get a guild group (especially when the instance has no tank BiS loot). For example, I would never have touched LBRS or Strat UD if guildies didn't need anything from there since there isn't any tanking BiS gear there. Just because you can't find a tank for your fail LBRS pug doesn't mean there is a shortage.

Yes, there is "too many tanks". Just because you spend 30 minutes for a tank for a 5 man doesn't fucking mean there aren't enough tanks, it simply means nobody wants to help morons who pull wrong do DM north. I wouldn't even go in half the instances with PUGs because tanking became an intense task of watching who was attacking what. If you actually looked at guilds (and told dps warriors to gear for tanking), you'd see there are PLENTY of warriors on this server. It's by far the most played class, it's just that a ton of people quit before 60 because it's definitely one of the harder classes to level.

Hey there, nerds -- that's a whole lotta words just to say "I'M MAD, BRO (AND I DUNNO WHY)".

( nothing I said was incorrect -- despite your misdirected temper-tantrums )
