I raid tanked on every class in WotLK. Keep grasping for those straws I guess.
Yeah this must be a horde thing. Horde also keep their zeppelins aloft using helium . . . because they’re stupid.

It’s not helium. Horde just uses the heads of Alliance paladins to keep their craft aloft.

The meta spec is telling us how it is, we better listen!
Hunters are getting great at pulling for me in heroics… Since the threat buff, the art of MDing is a lost art even if they pull on my behalf. Gotta love it. lol
They. Are. Dungeons. You literally run the same instances over and over and over and over AND over again. What are you trying to see that you haven’t seen a million times? If you want to stop and smell the roses, that’s what questing helps with. I go quest sometimes just to enjoy the environment and story. Dungeons are not that. I don’t just speed through them without taking a breath, but I like to get through them at a nice pace.

we are also the meta spec lol - doesn’t make him wrong
The purpose of MD is no longer to keep dps from pulling off the tank, it is to make sure the healer doesnt get aggro.
If the dps dont wait for the tank to get a hit or 2 in, they will still pull and die.
Was doing H dungeons with guildies last night and it was a ret and dk dps and me on my hunter. They died a lot because they did not avoud mechanics and our healer was having trouble with mana. But once they died healet mana was very efficient because i avoided mechanics and he only had to heal the tank and unavoidable damage on me, himself, and our tank.
A good hunter can make life easy for the tank and the healer. But it still wont save dps standing in the bad 
I was always a strong believer in one basic rule for PvE. You pull it, you tank it.

Sure, so long as I’m not sitting around doing nothing while everyone has full health and mana just twiddling our thumbs for no reason.
Sometimes thats what i want, but most hunters dont know how to do much more than dps. I enjoy kiting, CCing and interrupting casts.
Dear tanks,
STOP running way ahead of groups and not allowing healers to recover then whine when you die

Bring more mana pots.
Using mana pots this early when everything is expensive is insane. I don’t even think they drop off of mobs so you’d have to have an Alchemist make them for you or to buy them off of the AH. I’ve heard that you simply chew through mana pots which is hundreds of gold for like 60 pots.

if only hunters around the world would know about this and use it.
Use last expansion pots.
I gave around 200 of them to my healer last night and he just drank them on CD basically.
Wont stop you from having to drink now and then, but it can speed up that mana regen.
I don’t think 4k mana is even that much to an 85 healer.

Sad excuse for a tank when they wait 60+ seconds in between 2 trash pack pulls. Blame it on healer mana when it literally all got wasted keeping a bad tank up who didn’t have enough avoidance and didn’t know how to use his CD’s to keep the HP up during the pull. Sound like you? Thought so.

People that do that I don’t feel bad when the vote to kick happens it’s just curtisy unless the tanks actually super slacker
Its not, until you look at it from the perspective of the entire dungeon.
Essentially its only worth if you can get them for cheap or you are burning your stock from the previous expansion.
It can save drinking time overall but it wont eliminate it.
