If you look at the homogenization of gear, you'll notice that you won't be gimped by putting on tanking gear... hell it might even be the same gear!!! haha

In TBC, tank gear is devoid of +STR.... meaning reduced AP. Fury warriors rely on high AP to generate the rage they need, and you don't have the low rage cost devastates or sheild slam like prot has to help. That is a why you are gimped in tank gear.

In WoTLK it looks like even prot warriors will be getting plenty of +STR. My thoughts after reviewing the notes and talent trees (and with eliminating crushing blows.... and making sheild block reactionary) are that we are essentially going to be able to mash our face on random keys and every 20 seconds block an "uber move".

Making DPS classes able to generate threat as well as prot is actually remarkably easy. The problem is going to be making it worthwhile to bring a prot warrior.... mind you, the way they are making us all the same class anyways I don't think it will matter. Lowest common denominator FTW!! haha
