Speaking of Tanking here is videos of all kind of 5 man
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=22875Can they Tank easy 40 man Raids without oom ? ofc , do you need lot mana for that ofc not if you have enough sp .
Do they have 1 button only? ofc not , Consecration for aoe Aggro,Judgement of Righteousness for "Taunting" , Holy Shield for surviving (similar to shield block) , Seal of Righteousness for 1 target passive aggro (similar to sunders) , Exorcism for overpowered Undeads and Demons (taunt+tons of threats) and Holy Wrath for AoE Undeads and Demons where Warlocks can't get even close to you using Hellfire.
Holy Light to heal yourself during Tanking , Bubble to remove all Deadly debuffs that would otherwise kill Warrior Tanks , Lay of Hand where at 10% hp you can get full top HP , Hammer of Wraith for execution aggro and so on.
Do we lack itemization ? not rly there are ton amounts of offset and good items from Raids , feel free to check Atlas loot (zg+mc+bwl+ony).
Did they Tank 40 man raids? yes they do and can if you play it proper. Even noob Warrior that doesn't play proper can't tank either which puts them at same line.

Why most Guilds doesn't allow you to raid?
-Lack of knowledge around protection paladins which are not using spell damage weapon neither def cap which are their mandatory stats.
-Lack of working Abilities which makes them not working and tanking properly (example cc bug,hakkar mc bug,one-handed weap bug,holy resist bug,Seal of righteousness non working proper bug etc).
-Lack of information regarding Protection paladin benefits , but that's why i am here recording step by step to show where we are best and more beneficial than Warrior Tanks.
-Lack of knowledge and understanding that in 40 man Raid there are more than 2 Tanks where 3rd and 4th Tanks are used for Trash tanking which Paladins are Best and twice efficient than Warrior Tanks
-If MT die and boss is immune to Taunt then Paladin is here to take over as 2nd Tank and save the Raid
And at the very end , play whatever you enjoy to play and don't listen trolls.
