I really like Guardian druid ( Kul Tiran) and seems fun to be bear lol. However! I want to ask what do you prefer as a player for a tank? Protection warrior? Paladin? Blood dk and so on. Just give me your opinion of which tank is best to play with from your experience or just an opinion , thanks! PVP / PVE both if you can if not just give me opinion with one you feel comfortable with.
When I say tank I mean A TANK, one which is really hard to kill,and healer doesn’t have to carry them with spamming heals. Tank is meant as HARDEST TO KILL.

The “best” tank depends. Warriors are the highest damage, monks are probably the best at mitigation, pallys have good friendly utility/heals, dks have great add control and self sustain, etc.
My personal favorite is blood dk, as I really enjoy the self healing gameplay. I also enjoy prot pally a lot.
I have seen lots of bears coming to city and 10 dps sitting on them for an hour to bring them down lol, I love how bear is actually a bear in this game,I love wow.
Blood and Prot are fun to play and my personal preference, Warrior is the best at any high level of mythic+. Brewmaster is best in raids and pretty decent.
As a healer, my favorite tanks are those who use their mitigation properly and pay attention to my mana. As long as those two things are done, I’d let a mage tank for me.
They’re all pretty equal at taking damage and corruption (TD) has evened out the damage tanks can deal as well, it’s the utility or perks you want.
My personal favorite and the one I play the most is Guardian Druid, it’s not a Warrior or DH but it has more than enough tools to kite and it’s rotation is possibly the easiest of the lot. And it has the toolkit of a Druid so you can’t go wrong.
I also have a Blood DK and it’s my top suggestion for new players, it’s rotation is basically that of a DPS spec. It’s also the most forgiving since it rewards a reactive playstyle rather than a proactive one like most of the other tanks.
Paladin is your best anti-mongo friend, you’ll never have to worry about dps not interrupting since you have two in a very short CD.
I haven’t played the other three but I’ve seen people complaining about stagger all the time so Monk is probably the best tank, Warrior was known for it’s damage but as mentioned before that perk has lost it’s value, still the best at mitigating physical damage, DH is the highest mobility one but it has some issues with initial aggro.

I hate relying on bad healers plus I like having superior utility. So prot pally wins even if the mitigation suck.

I am just starting now with tanks but so far I have seen bears taking 5+ people to be down lol. Its just so funny, I have literally watched this druid tanking 10 people in city sitting on him for an hour 
Bear power.
I can self sustain in M+ as bear even in bosses. Actually what holds me back from pulling entire rooms as bear is the abilities the trash uses that might kill my group.
In SL, it looks like Prot Paladins and Blood DKs are going to be the best. But this probably won’t last because the last time Blood was the best tank blizz decided to use the swap blaster on blood with the worst tank… warrior…
That didn’t last long, BDK is the best raid tank at the moment tied with BM. It is however really hard to tank as BDK in keys above 15, that type of content is about reducing damage healing through it might not even be an option as you get one shot.
It makes sense that bear is harder to kill and is better tank then some dude with sword and shield. Imagine attacking large bear with your sword and shield.
Imagine using a weapon to kill a beast… says the hunter… do you realize how dumb that sounded?
best tank spec is arms warrior
Protection Paladins are the absolute bestest. 0% bias
(I brew and guardian too but I love this)
Weapon is range, you can attack bear from range because you have 1% chance in melee fight. Do you even know how much bears weight lol? Brown bear is around 1200 lbs imagine getting into fight with that lol. Unless you are a gnome.
Imagine being in a video game and your avatar is blocking attacks from a futher mucking Titan. Bears don’t stand a chance against this bro.
Hardest tank to kill… That’s kinda tough. Depends what you’re fighting against. Magic -> DK and DH. Physical -> Warrior. Mix of both -> probably prot pal.
I still want to play bear,because I usually see rest of the tanks dying while bear takes hours to be taken down. Maybe it is good to play other tanks because you get shield and a sword and its cool .
