Can Any help on rotation for DW tank?
Zejers´s last blog ..Independent film: the Raid

So you’ll want to consider what your weak spots are, and what roles you’re providing as a tank. If you’re primarily running heroics, you’re going to want to have solid AoE threat, so Howling Blast and Icy Touch are super helpful, and your third glyph would be a single target threat glyph. If you’re raiding a lot, take a moment to analyze whether or not you’re having more trouble holding threat on a boss or on pulls with several mobs. If your single target threat is tops but your AoE threat is a bit weak, glyph towards AoE threat glyphs. However, if you’re consistently running with another tank that has fantastic AoE threat already, but you’re having trouble holding aggro on bosses when your dps are going buck wild, then you might want to beef up your single target threat.

I’m tanking as blood right now, but I used to tank quit a bit as Frost. What I wound up using was Icy Touch and Rune Strike all the time, and I had a stack of Howling Blast and Obliterate glyphs that I switched back and forth between depending on whether or not I was running heroics/AoE pulls in raids, and when I was on some bosses where I found my single target threat needed a boost. I preferred the Rune Strike glyph over the Obliterate glyph as my “always use glyph” because I was dual wielding, and therefor I was able to get a LOT of Rune Strikes in. If you were to use a 2hander (I’d recommend dual wield – read Gravity’s data on the differences), I think I’d consider Obliterate as the “always use glyph” instead of Rune Strike.

I went through the respec last night, just need to finish glyphing, Im a bit torn between the HB and the Obliterate glyph, could I ask you to share any insight around these? The HB glyph is simply appealing from a multi mob\disease point of view. As a said earlier, Im only running HC stuff at the moment, no hard core content.

Thanks for your input so far, I really enjoy reading your articles on the various tank styles.
