Druid tanking guide- talents and rotation

Here's a little guide I've thrown together in response to a few people asking me about how I do those things I do. In this video, you'll find info on my spec and rotation. If ya like it, let me know and I'll do more.

Im trying to keep up with the rotation you show, but for some reasons Im not able to keep up the burps

@Rodalvarez80 Protip: Swipe actually does less threat than Lacerate on single-targets. So, if you replace swipe with more lacerate spam, you'll be able to keep your burp uptime higher.

Oh, THAAAAATS' WHY I KEEP GETTING RANDOM TWITTER FOLLOWERS. Guys, I don't use twitter. I used it for a few months, but I just kept forgetting about it. I hardly ever use it anymore. Don't bother following me if you want to actually, yanno, read tweets or anything. There really aren't any.

Good guide, one question, I'm only just starting bear tank so excuse me if rookie question, why pull if fire and not taunt?

[Kevashidaz]

@remoteman60 It's a tiny thing that only comes up once in a blue moon, but when it does, I'm glad i do it the way I do.

Pulling with taunt means there's a ten-second gap at the start of the fight where I don't have taunt available to me. So if the worst should happen and someone pull from me, I don't have my quickest and simplest method of regaining threat.

Also, FFF generates threat, while taunt does not. So, using FFF makes it a bit less likely that people will pull in the first place.

[Kevashidaz]

@remoteman60 Oh, one more reason- with the armor debuff, you wanna have FFF up before starting to hit the mob anyway. So, do you wanna open with taunt, wasting a GCD, a 10-second cooldown and generating no threat, and then hit it with FFF before starting to attack; or simply hit it with FFF? You're gonna be debuffing it anyway, might as well do it while pulling.
