Last night, I went into a raid preparation frenzy. I went and got Ulu's tanking chestpiece, bracers and boots all enchanted with the best possible enchants so that I could squeeze the maximum stamina out of his set-up. In the end, he managed 11217 health unbuffed. Not as good as a tanking Warrior or Druid but pretty respectable for a Pally tank.
In the end, Karazhan run didn't happen, so i did two five man runs in it's place.
The first was to Mechanaar, which I undertook with a Priest and 2 Warlocks from CD and a Mage friend of one of the 'locks. It was an incredibly smooth run, with only one wipe before the last boss, which we recovered from quickly. Ulu even got an upgrade to his current tanking chest (which I predicted would drop after I'd just paid to get the old one enchanted).
After that, I went to Steamvault with an entirely CD party (two druids, a mage and a lock), and it was horrid. The kitty druid kept going bear and taking my aggro, the warlock seemed to be going out the way to take aggro from me and I kept on failing to save the druid healer from death. Runs like that really sap my spirit when it comes to tanking. Whislt I can intellectualise that they were trying to have fun and I was probably taking it too seriously, the end result is that I honestly didn't enjoy myself.

Nah, the Botanica run sucked big hairy balls. Main problem was that the lock kept pulling rather than letting you pull. That meant he always had aggro from at least one mob. You trying to get aggro of that one back means you don't have a chance to establish solid aggro on the others, which means the healer gets it in the neck, and the dps kitty drops to bear to try and save the healer.
Frankly, if it happens again, just ignore the mob he's pulled and concentrate on controlling the others. He pulls it, he can kill it.
I'd have totally just put on a 2h, and tell the warlock, "if you wanna tank, go for it ^_-".
