Tanking
Today I had my first real tanking experience, and though I still have to do lot's of work on it, it was a well done run imo. HoL HC was the place where it happened and we nearly had a full lemmings group (Gart had a bad internet connection and dced a lot, so we could replace him with his permission).
We didn't whipe once, though we had some losses, eventually leaving only me and spit fighting of 4 mobs. When that was done, I joked that usually I do more DPS.
Thanks to spit for an awesome healing job and thanks to Sephy for wispering me some advice wich I could use imediately. And nice to have Kris allong since I can't remember we had met before.
So with a little more practice, better rotation and the enchants still needed on the gear it won't be long before I'll be tanking more than that I dps. 
I can say that I like tanking.

I know what you mean about
I know what you mean about enjoying tanking, but I also find it very stressful and that's why I stick to DPS so I can relax - which is kind of what the game is about to me. Still, great that we have another potential tank in the guild, and one less competition for big 2-handers - mwahahaha!!

I don't find it stressfull at all. Have only had once that I had some serious abuse from a healer (who couldn't heal) in OC. He desperately wanted to do Amber void and got himself killed righ at the start of the guardian. Since he wan't willing to leave the achievement alone, I left the group. Plain and simple (no debuff) and that didn't affect me at all.

Cool isn't it, the tanking.
Just wait until you're tanking the big bad bosses in raids.
Suprised

Yes, I'm quite suprised by it actually. I always felt more of a dps person so I didn't do anything about tanking. But now that I have tried it's actually lot's of fun.
And that big bad boss may be there on sunday already. /scared

I too like tanking, but I try not to subject my poor fellow guildies to it very often. Just be thankful I gave up on levelling my warlock, else you would have to put up with me fearing mobs in the instance for giggles.
