Fun with Heroics

One of my favorite parts of being a decently geared feral tank is the comments from the healer in groups. I take less damage than they're used to with other tanks (and heal myself for a fair bit), so occasionally they have to toss a renew or something, and they can do whatever they want in the meanwhile (some start dpsing, thanks to the heal bonus also giving spell damage change). On one Old Durnholde run, we even managed to finish off a bad pull with no healing at all after the healer died early on.

This also makes dueling melee types amusing. as it's difficult for them to do that much damage.

I've started going with my "mini-tank" set for instances now, as I don't really need the high mitigation of the full tanking set, and the extra threat generation is useful for faster clearing. I generally switch back for boss fights, though.
