I tank the bear run in ZA gear (something like 350 spell damage with weapon oil, less than 5k mana pool) and usually do the entire thing without drinking once. (Caveat: we use three healers, so I'm not wholly sure if some of these things would be wise with less healing power available.) Points of note:
- I tank all but one mob in every pull, and sometimes I simply tank everything. When a caster is being killed first I just generally hit it with my shield throw and then ignore it - it'll be dead before it does any meaningful damage to anyone.
- I judge wisdom (and sometimes seal it as well) on the second or third target to be killed, and hit that mob while spamming consecration and holy shield. Once two-ish mobs are dead I stop actively generating threat (since if I held the second mob against the DPS for the length of its health I must have enough aggro on the third and fourth mobs to not lose them while they're killed) and just regenerate mana with SoW/JoW.
- Almost everything is stunnable and tauntable, and almost nothing is going to one-shot your DPS. It's often not worth trying to keep ahead of the DPS, just stun the mob when someone pulls and then taunt it when the stun wears off. It'll probably be dead once those 9 seconds are up.
