I’m starting to pick up tanking and have been enjoying it a lot so far but VDH seems squishy and I’m just not a huge fan of the resource management for BDK. Are Prot Warriors a good tank for solo/world stuff? Dungeons? Would I get picked up/ invited to raids when I get to that point? Is the lack of self healing an issue for anything? Thanks for the help!
I have a few alts, and Prot Warrior is the hardest to get into groups, everything else equal. It’s a night and day difference if I play the more “meta” tank. In M+, I end up listing my own key on Warrior a lot of the time.
This is why you often see me venting on the forum here, asking Blizz to buff Protection Warriors.

Warriors are pretty straight forward with only Rage to build/spend
All tanks excel at this 
My Warrior takes a bit more TLC than other tanks in Dungeons simply due to lack of self heals…but I really really enjoy my Warrior spamming M+
Yes
Not really. In group content you’re always running with a healer anyway. The only “issue” I have with it is, unlike other tanks that can self-sustain with their own heals in a way…i have to rely heavily on someone elses gaming abilities more 
I think you’ll enjoy Warriors

If played correctly, prot is a brick wall. If played incorrectly, prot is a wet paper bag.
With current state game and community perception, I’d definitely push you towards prot paladin over warrior. They are in a great spot right now.
