Im not sure if its just me, but protection Palidans seem to be way more buff then prot warriors at the time of writing. Im not here to QQ, im just here to get it out and see what the Curse community thinks. They seems to be doing Way more threat then they should be able to be doing. It just seems impossible for me to keep up, shockwave and thunder clap are no match for their mighty burst threat and tanking alongside one is nearly impossible, even shield slam crits cant keep up and iv had one aggro off me despite i was focusing all my threat on it.

More issues, I feel for the fury warriors, also i feel my off spec, It just seems so nerfed right now, though im sure that the gear from ulduar with its high strength do reconcile the dps hit, i think Blizzard would have just been better off waiting a bit and letting a few get a bit OP before the ultra nerfage.

    A warrior should be able to at least hold his own, as should all the other classes, while it is true pallis should have the right to be the Best AoE tank, it shouldnt be by a ridiculously large amount. Druids could benfit from a bit more AoE, though it think you guys are on par with warriors. DK tanks are all about the CDs from what i can tell, they are definetly best used for "LOL WTF" situations, like Mimiron, he sucks. Main problem with warriors over other classes is rage generation, it sucks we have to pay a price for dodge 4 attacks in a row, maybe something that gave us some rage when we dodged like Blizz promised :(

    For my guild, it's a bit different. We have a tank of each class. Our dk tank generally never dies, but his tps is pretty low. Our warrior tank is decent on tps and can generally tank most bosses. Our pally tank is our best aoe tank, and we generally use him for tanking multiple adds (i.e. spider quarter trash, razorscale adds, etc). And as the guilds druid tank, I really only tank bosses, as my tps is the highest of all the tanks. Where our warrior averages 6-7k tps, I see around 8-10k tps on average. Ontop of that, i have 50k hp, and our dk tank hits 45k, our war hits 43k, and our pally hits 42k.

    My best advice: use the tanks you have in the situations they were built for. Don't try to tank a dozen adds as a war. Let the paladin do what he does best. But then hop on that boss and show him what TPS really means.

    Nothings wrong with my rotation, but despite blowing my AoE burst abilities a prot palli  can still as much if not more then me, despite prot warriors not having a constant AoE damage.

    @ macaronie

    Paladins aren't the most OP class out there. You get rocked by a few ret paladins or fail at your class and it's omg they are OP. Roll one yourself or learn to play your class. I as a cloth wearing mage have no problem taking on ret, holy or even prot paladins. Yes, they do have nice burst damage as ret and are pretty simple to play with mostly auto swinging and instant casts. I know while any spec on my paldin a geared elemental shaman that knows how to play its class i have no chance against :[ so maybe roll a shaman if your having paladin issues (this could just be me that failz against the ele shamans with my paladin)

    @ Meatpieandwow

    Prot paladins do have a huge threat generation however warrior and DK's i've seen keep up without issue in my raids. It could be gear/enchants or even your spell rotation. That is having you so far behind. Try doing some theory crafting and research on how to better generate TPS. Something on the tank note druids still can push close to 60k hp raid buffed while my paladin only goes to 42k :[
