Hey guys,
I can’t decide between what’s better for tanking in Shadowlands for Mythic keystones. Any advice? Thanks 
Hard to say without seeing the balance between them.
That being said, DH is more fun.

Since we have no metrics to base it on, no one knows.
That being said, play whichever is fun for you or go the “why not both” route.
Once you try dh, the mobility of that class will suck you in

problem with that class is tanking sucks on it man DH!
They haven’t yet finalized the balancing, but my vote would be on DK. Blood DK has amazing self sustain and lots of defensive cooldowns, which are great for those situations where your healer dies or a dps face pulled an extra pack.
DH has pretty good self sustain too, but they lack in defensives. However, their mobility is worlds ahead of DK. So if you’re looking for a reason to pick DH over DK, I’d say don’t hold back and pick what you prefer.

Vengeance is getting baseline Fel Devastation, which is pretty neat considering you rarely actually wanted to talent into it. Other than that it’s looking like they’ll play similar to how they currently do (Soul Bomb is still gonna be BiS)
If you currently enjoy VDH, you’ll probably like it
Wait and see. It’s only the very start of alpha.
Very happy about this! I appreciate you can play however you want with whatever talents you want but when you’ve got Spirit Bomb and Gluttony, Fel Devestation just doesn’t stack up.

Hard to say for now, but DKs are getting a REALLY nice group/raid utility with Anti-magic zone. 60% magic damage reduction for everyone is insane.
The last few expansions tanks have been fairly even over all. Of course there will always be a better one in specific situations. If I were you I’d play the one you enjoy the most or even both. Unless you are playing in cutting edge content, then you might want to wait for more information.
HMP is the only answer.

Blood Dk/Paladin will be the top tier for SL
So either of those will be very solid choices
unless you doing higher keys 16ish and up
tanks won’t matter play what you like
But I love being a DH tank in New expansion because with out pathfinder in the beginning wings ( glide) are op lol
Wait until its out of alpha and we actually know all the changes and balancing?

Both are pretty good.
Personally like DK better. But there isnt any overly justifiable reason.
VDH can mow crap down pretty well and take a pretty good beating.
Double jump + glide are quite addictive.
Wait for more information before deciding. My healer “short list” is currently druid, priest, paladin, and shaman. So yeah, it’s not quite narrowed down

I’m very much in “Wait and see” mode and keeping an eye on nerfs and class changes in the alpha. It’s too early to latch on to something, but it’s not too early to give feedback on glaring issues or be aware of the same.
