Eh, I suppose it depends
I’ve just played prot for questing, delves, bgs, shuffle, etc, and while it does have its limitations I’ve made do
Yeah. It’s everybody not a tank.

I had full plans to do a bunch of mythic+ tanking but Blizz hit tanks with a nerf bat right before the expansion launched. Now we’re squishy and can hardly pull more than one pack at a time.

Yeah, it’s because of no one. Lots of tanks out there just blame no one.
I tank - at low level and for very short things. For example, this morning I’ve been doing some of the Coren event instances on my low level characters that have a tank spec because its walk in, hit things, they die, leave.
Now, high level stuff…naa. I’d be SO bad at it.

Because tanking sucks. That is my own opinion. Now, I do have my Bdk, my Guardian druid, and Vdm that I do tank on, but my opinion is that it still sucks. 
All I do is play tanks. It gets rough sometimes, especially early on in new content or old dungeons with new mechanics. People can be harsh and unforgiving – even if you’re not the problem. I’ve seen so many dps blame me or the healer because they’re dying to not using defensives or kicking anything. You need thick skin to tank for pugs. It can get tiring sometimes. Mostly though, I prefer to tank for my friends, even if some of them aren’t able to complete keys that I do. Its still more fun than dealing with saucy pugs.

Because tank self-sustain is insufficient for the current content. They need to buff all tank healing by a significant amount to change this i.e. revert the nerf they implemented at the start of the expansion.

In addition to the various amounts of toxicity and responsibility that tanks have always had to have more of than dps, which others have gone into detail on, remember that ALL tanks received nerfs going into TWW to make them rely more on healers. This most effects tanks that dont play as well, or newer tanks, so i wouldnt be shocked if fewer people are picking up tanking fresh this season.

Once, in Dragon Soul, I was kicked for not doing enough healing compared to the three restro druids.
I was a Bear.

ain’t easy but i am trying
As someone that use to only tank, it’s because blizz, for some reason, wants the game to be more and more difficult. My final straw was this expac. Mobs shouldn’t be more annoying than the bosses.

Oh also i havent found a hero tank spec iv enjoyed yet
I like to pug tank and have four tanks.
To be fair, some tanks (vdh looking at you) can out range healers badly sometimes. Then they pull and die way ahead wiping us.
