He wants to do end content (HVs) without the work (M+/Raiding). HVs aren’t for everyone.
HVs are for corruption/cloak, which only people that do difficult content ‘need.’

How do you know what I want to do? I never said anything about that.
Issue isn’t really surviving, it’s sanity loss due to low dps. Also, our biggest weakness is we have extremely weak aoe. We have divine star and holy nova, both of which don’t rock big dmg. So clearing trash is going to be an investment.
We also have most of our single target on cd while we spam a cast which requires standing still even though we have no CC (obv if chast is on CD) outside of scream.
We are also just super slow. Our mobility has been a big joke and a waste of a talent.
I only get them if i complain about bad dps, but being both a previous tank main and dps since i love the playstyle of vengence but it’s a royal slog to gear offsets and mainsets, i’ve kinda had my long fill of getting yelled at lfg pugs over pulling two dang extra mobs that took 3 seconds to kill, or even when 8.2 VDH tank was weak working on simming on the gear.
On my 30 button tank im always told that VDH sucks and has no raid or pvp spots even though it got a 90% M+ parse it’s no good, in M+ where i try to be highly competitive with how the cards rolled (rolled 1.25 twilight devastations, no stars/void), i work hard on standing over the pack and usually even outdps other bad dhs by full +30-50%s but find myself running toe to toe with Fire mages, Rogues, Hunters and then skilled players of each respective class.
But the only thing i hear all day, whether i’m sick of a two hour que and decide to tank a key or two lower and then have to deal with despite all the pulls and positioning i do on the mobs, the dps stand and die to completely avoidable damage.
When im the dps, i can control what the dps does and i can dodge, and i can interupt, and i can stun, VDH doesn’t have a true stun, sigils IMO would be 100x better if the 1 second activation was baseline, 2 seconds is just too clunky and hard to waste esp when vdh could already use a utility buff and a talent row switch in the spirit bomb row for a strong Single target raid ability. Or, Spirit bomb should at least take the monk treatment and at least be scaled around +100%-50% increased damage to primary target when it’s like 5k dps anyways.
I had to pvp and arena to 30,000 honor for my conflict and strife and 30% snare for necro unless i just wanted to skip that week, tank specs have never been allowed to be good in PVP or anytihg. I get them not wanting slow tanks vs overwatch tanks in pvp with 50% damage, but i wish at least they let tanks at least have a option to say, do +50% more damage in exchange for -50% less melee armor. I don’t get why tanks actually TAKE MORE damage in pvp from casters when that’s the whole point of them.
You keep complaining about mobility. BDKs are the slowest class in game and I’m fine. Just eat the speed food.
Holy priests on here have already told how to/and that they’ve done it, full clear.
Drink the fire potion for a free aoe. It lasts an hour if you drink 3

One thing tanks and healers can always agree on

It’s TRUE though rofl!
No it was the tanks fault for not memorizing the game and bad pulls, and the healers for not saving them what are you talking about?
I think he thinks we are the same Vulpera. I don’t know how people get Vulpera mixed up, we don’t look similar at all!
Remember the first days of corruption when it was released.
“Hey guys, i just rolled 226 corruption, why am i glowing red?”
*335 person appears glowing like a nuclear missles. Immediately 7 things from beyond and 4 eyeballs spawn, they immediately blow up and die every pull
"OMFFEWRoiuRWEOU healer L2HEAL!
“WHY ARE YOU TAKING +332% MORE DAMAGE!!?!?!??!”
“IT WAS A 18K DPS INCREASE!!!”
“WHY ARE YOU WEARING 180 CORRUPTION WORTH OF +8% AVOIDANCE FROM HASTE?”
“SO I CAN WEAR MORE CORRUPTION!!!”
Fun times, fun times…

The only reason you can out heal a healer is cause you take sooooo much damage as a dk tank, your deathstrike will save you. Dks are falling over to auto attacks.
Change your stat distributions then. Make an actual DPS set with all crit/haste, some vers on it and zero mastery. Mastery is going to be almost completely useless for you in there. 99% of the people complaining about holy in HVs are probably rocking the typical zero haste stuff from raiding.
AGAIN: GET RID OF ALL YOUR MASTERY FOR HVs…
Bind your mount to a hotkey and get used to spamming it the split second you get out of combat and/or clicking objectives. This will shave a minute or more off your time in stormwind.
Yeah, for real the squishest tank in the game. I cry everytime I have to run one. By far my least favored tank.
No one cares if you wipe a raid as long as you look good on those meters.
My mount is shift+space
Strange how I can take 5 de buffs on Mythic Maut and time 15-16 keys just fine then ?
havent read the newer posts, but my reccomendation would be to group up for this a healer could be a huge asset for a group not only trying to restore sanity but getting hit with major damage…long story short…group up! dont solo!
Yes that is strange must be a good pocket healer. 
1 of the top rated M+ tanks and THE top rated raid tanks- is your worst nightmare ? Lul
You can look at my comps. Basically a different healer every time
I’m glad you found such good healers!
There’s a big skill range, friend. Most DKs are not going to be your personal caliber of DK. Most DK tanks are going to sit far, far below where you are. You are in the company of the top of the top of competitive players, the best and most skilled/dedicated the game has to offer. I can confidently say that you are among the 1% and whatever fears we healers have regarding that rando DK tank in our group: they don’t apply to you. A knock against your spec isn’t a knock against -you-.
