hmm, well if I would go through each of those suggestions.
Butchery: I have no shortage of RP whatsoever, I have to break rotation to throw some DCs due to hitting 100 all the time (and I dont wanna waste any RP )
Virulence: only thing it would add is the IT I cast once every 15s or so.
MoB: dont really have a prob with keeping my health up, I rarely even think of using VB as it is now (altho, I agree VB+MoB would ease up on healers abit), and since I dodge alot the 20s timer wouldnt give me more then maybe 25% hp?
Rune Tap: I dont really have any time to pop rune tap since Im always spamming the GCD, and I guess it revolves around the same matter as MoB/VB.
Spell Deflection: the only one I would try out.

My real problem (well, not really a problem) is that my DPS is really horrible. I have no problem with hate, and according to the healers, Im not very hard to keep alive, but Im lucky if I breach 2k dps (mostly ranging from 1.5-1.7) thats why Im running with necrosis and subversion. Atm Im more thinking about removing the IT points to cap subversion and MORE necrosis lol. hell I might even shuffle around some points and get Sudden Doom (love that talent lol)

Ill play around with it, thanks for the tips nonetheless


edit: note that Im mostly doing 10mans on this one since I use my enh-shammy for our 25man runs (and I never ever pug raids)

People who've dropped Anub25hc, how many tanks do you use? We've been trying with 3 but I've read that its viable with 2 if the ot is a pala/war and has a really fucking solid shield set.

[Ezek]

We use 2 warriors with a good avoidance / shield set on the adds and a druid MT on Anub. We used to use a single tank for the adds but changed to two following the FoK interrupt nerf. I know there are still guilds out there that kill him weekly with a single add shield tank though.

@Meph

Try this:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

DS/Rune Strike/Vamp Blood major glyphs.

Swap your Brewfest EH trinket out for a DPS one if you're still having trouble with threat. I manually Rune Strike but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to bind RS to all of your primary strikes (HS/DS).

Granted that might work a bit better with his gear, but why did you opt for only 2/3 MoM in that spec? 4% shadow damage on auto attacks isn't likely to beat out another 15% crit damage, especially when you're sporting talents like Dark Conviction and Subversion.

Is 2k dps on a tank even feasible outside hardmode loot?

I'm hardly top tier in terms of tanking equipment and I'm a Druid instead of a DK but I don't really breach 2k dps either (~1.5 like you), if it makes you feel any better; but I'm still pumping ~5k TPS.

2 tanks, 1 druid on anub, 1 warrior on all 4 adds.

[Meph]

@Ezek
that was kinda what I had in mind, but Im with Rokku, and will probably go 3/3 MoM, 4/5 Necrosis instead

Im only using the beer-mug for the HP, got the dodge-trinket you get from badges otherwise, and no I dont have any problems with threat

I actually have no idea what my TPS is, Ill have a looksy next time Im doing something :3

Dk on anub, Pally on adds.

Need to be pro with Stuns on Shadow strike timer though. Three tank strat is a lot easier if you don't need the extra DPS because you have more leeway.

[Falaras]

So does anyone know how much it generally costs to level Enchanting? Thinking of dropping Engineering for it, I do have quite a bit of WoTLK mats if that makes it much cheaper.

[Norellicus]

You have a prot paladin, you can solo any instance you want for your own mats >_>

[Falaras]

that is sooo much work though.

[SamanosukeShiva]

so just got my death verdict from twins, now which trinket is better to pair up with it?

darkmoon: greatness or wrathstone?

[Palin]

Greatness.

[Jodwahh]

Greatness.

I concur.

[Dezzimal]

Should I buy a greatness card for my Druid?

The World of Warcraft Armory

My other trinket is a meteorite whetstone and I'm 0 and over 9000 on the trinket from normal ToC.

[Norellicus]

Yes, holy hell yes. Agi greatness + Black Heart are very nearly the two best tank trinkets you can own, and Agi greatness is only beaten by some hardmode trinkets (Uld and ToCr) for dps.

[Plow]

I can't decide if I should spend the gold for greatness as ret, either...

Have reasonable shot at anything, including hard modes, just started using ret a couple weeks ago.

Atm my 2nd trinket is complete trash >< not sure what to do.

[Dezzimal]

I'm pretty low on stamina on my druid, I play it as cat way more often than bear, so I probably wouldn't use agi greatness for tanking because I have two stam trinkets.

[Tricen]

Aren't druids evasion tanks as it is?
