Original Post:
today i was tanking sethekk heroic (damn mount) for the first time after the patch. Two days ago i did sethekk with our warrior tank while i was dpsing. Even though both runs went pretty smoothly (everthing else would be very sad),
I encountered a couple of issues while I was tanking(of course we didnt cc at all).

Prophets and Talon Lords were a huge problem because of the known issue with Swipe. First the talon lords stun you before you use at least 3xswipe. After that the prophets fear which can not be countered every time given the current speed you rush through those heroics at the moment. Mobs are scattered now and gaining aggro was a huge pain. Basically we had about 3 deaths (single persons no wipes of course) because of that.
I know this is a situational problem but this is basically the problem people have been talking about 1 or 2 pages back in theory. A warrior can get fast aggro with TC + shockwave (enough to get through the stun) and then break every fear keeping all mobs on him.
Although it wasnt a huge problem which could have caused a "really" slow run, I was still somewhat disappointed in me, seeing our warrior tanking and then comparing it to me :/.

Seeing how this affected our group on the somewhat "easy" sethekk run, this could become a major issue on more difficult mob groups in wotlk.

Oh and another thing. Did they change fear mechanis somehow? Because the main issue on that sethekk run was that after a fear the mobs would scatter and go for other targets (probably second on threat). I don't think that was the case pre3.0? Sorry if I am completly wrong on this but other people on our run noticed it as well.
