I have love for Druids too, on another server, we had a Druid as our main tank for 20 mans. Simply did awesome, and for awhile no tank could do better. (I will add we have population issues since it was an insta-60 server.)
Our bear tank did an awesome job, but like all bears, they always wanted to do other things and eventually went boomkin. The advantages of druid roles are amazing. they can tank, heals, melee & Caster Dps.

PS- thanks for the support theo, get to 60, I'm still waiting for the guide :P

Will have to wait a while I'm afraid - heading to Hawaii tonight to shoot aerial footage over the next two weeks so I won't be playing while I'm there :P

If you want to be a unique snowflake then level a true tank mitigation spec and actually help the healer look good in the dungeons. There are so many bad situations with over pulled groups that would be wipes with dps spec tanks that a true protection mitigation spec can handle and actually save the wipe.

I've actually had a total lack of time and never got really rolling with my characters here. I think I am going to go prot warrior. Not sure on race yet or faction... Having said that, is leveling going to be a total nightmare?

And I'm a big fan of gnomes in these games... Is a gnome warrior a total no no?

Druids are indeed a Jack of all Trades - Apprentice in many, though master in none that is :D

Gnomes are great... tanking on ally side they have probably the worst racials of the bunch... but the advantages are all fairly negligible in the grand scheme of things as far as tanks are concerned.

Levelings a bitch... I'd suggest you level 2handed fury spec and keep a nice sheild and 1h on you, because even in fury spec you will be capable of tanking pretty much every dungeon before level 60 where you can respec
