This is what happens when you create a new class that excludes the tank role:
every group in LFD is healers/dps…all looking for tanks…
#evokershouldbeatank
I did a test on this today. Regular and heroic dungeon que’s are behaving like normal. There’s something broken with the event que, or, it’s possible people don’t know there’s a dungeon with the pre-launch event.
This is what LFG always looks like, even when dks, monks and dhs came out.

I will not tank for any groups loaded with evokers that is for sure. Pffft
Everyone should just play guardian Druid then. They’re doing more damage than some DPS.
So you’re a DPS, but also a tank and a bear.
Increasing the number of tank classes doesn’t really increase the number of people willing to tank.

Give tanks 10,000 gold per wing/dungeon.
So basically the way it always has been?

We’ve had a tank release with every class release until now, none of it has increased overall tank populations for a few reasons.
A) the game is not set up to support many tanks, only 2 are needed for the “end game” for most end game minded people, ie raids. There’s not point in rolling a tank because guilds already have their tanks.
B) When people do choose to tank pugs people treat them like garbage. Pull your path but it’s different then someone else’s path? That’s a yelling. Die because your dps don’t interrupt? That’s a yelling.
Evoker should not be a tank.
But they should have added a race (like Drakonids) or race/class combination (like Orc Druids) that can tank to assist handling the glut of people making the new stuff.
there has always been a lower ratio of tanks to dps , it now so bad because so fewer people are bothering to play the game at all due to the state its in - tanks have simply dropped off the cliff edge as subs have dropped , i think for many players this new expansion was the last straw.
So be a tank?
I did a group with 4 evokers and 1 prot warrior (I was one of those evokers)
We did fine.
It’s not a hard dungeon, not even for 4 people who don’t know their class or dungeon.
Healing evokers is rough; they are super squishy
Probably not using anything but their damage abilities, I’m generally the last one alive in a wipe.
We have heals, drs, movement, etc.
