I've lvled my pally completely as prot, and just hit 80 (my first), so checked this out. A lot of it was common sense, but it's always good to know I'm gearing right. Blacksmithing helped a lot of course. All in all a great article. Very handy. I’ve lvled my pally completely as prot, and just hit 80 (my first), so checked this out.

I know most of the armor and weapons will be the same but some gear gives shield block rating and us DK's aren't blessed with the ability to wield shields.

As far as Effective Health goes, yes, it is preferable to almost any stat but you still have to be able to hold agro over the DPS-freaks that can generate 7, 8 and 10,000 DPS, or no amount of health will be if any use to you.

Most of your key abilities won't be available for many more levels and as far as gear goes even back before BC, you had to go into instances and raids to pick up the best gear, not to mention that the mechanics of the game have changed significaltlt since then. Almost none of the gear from that level will have any of the stats you will need at higher levels. I never once tanked anything before I hit 80, I was on a mission, the guild needed a steady, reliable MT/OT and I thought I could make a difference. I got Dindrane (my paladin) to 80, leveled two proffesions, all secondary skills, including cooking and fishing in just over 9 days of /played of questing. The best advice I can give you to truely appreciate tanking is to get to 80 ASAP, especialy if you've already seen the content, I can’t claim to know much about tanking before 80.

Generally EH is considered more valuable than personal dps and crit isn't really a great dps stat anyways. Question about yellow gems…why crit and not just stam?
