Rogue is doable vs a single mob or a couple as OT I think.


No, just no.

Can't recall exactly the avoidance reachable with a rogue with the right race, gear, faction, buffs & debuffs on the target, but 90-95% physical avoidance should be possible depending on race/faction. Not counting in ghostly strike of course.

"Everyone tanks" doesn't really take off until TBC hands everyone stats like resilience to become crit immune (which still leaves crushing blows) and lets Paladins obtain mana by getting healed.

Also, some of your builds are pretty ridiculously bad. For instance, Conflag is the last spec you'd use to tank instances as a Warlock. Tanking has been done with SM spec as a draintank off-tank, SL spec for the damage mitigation, and 0/30/21 spec for Twin Emperors, but conflag spec is just glass.

That warrior spec is sub-optimal.

This produces far more threat. Shift points from HS to TM for 5 mans.

Rend and the tiny deep wound dot fast tanking weapons produce are only worth if you add in Impale.
Having 2/5 TM is necessary for mocking blow. 12 rage sunder vs 15 rage sunder, means a whole new sunder by the 6th application.

You don't spec for 5 mans when tanking raids. Imp Sunder 2/5 imp 1hand if you are rage starved. 0/3 imp sunder 5/5 imp 1h for MT raged capped TPS build.
