I am the Tank

Last night I tanked Deadmines. First time out as a warrior tank, First time out with my new buddies on a new (to me) seriously high-population server. Although I have left Krakenoah languishing in hellfire peninsula, newly 60 but awestruck and lost in the vast harshness of outland, I have jumped to EU-Eonar to start out as a tank.

And Deadmines went pretty well, from my perspective. I tanked the boss fights really well, and we worked as a team on these, and most of the trash fights went okay, with me trying to keep aggro off some particularly feisty individuals, and some very out of control pets. I had been building up to this run for weeks, since my new WoW (and RL) buddy Si started his first gnome. But unfortunately, because of RL commitments, Si and his mate Alf were lvl 27 by the time we got in there to run it. So I'm a 20 tank, 1 lvl under being truly effective, and they’re a 27 warlock and a 27 priest, 2 or 3 levels above finding this a real challenge.
It balanced out quite well though, as we brought a comedy hunter, who didn’t bring any bullets, and liked running about getting in the way.

It was serious fun.
