Since hitting 80 on 11/16 I have been pretty busy. Once I woke up from my coma I immediately began running heroics. Grinding the various reputations up to Revered with my tabards, and collecting the tanking drops, and reputation rewards along the way. I went in to my first 10 man Naxx as a tank with 489 Defense. Yes, this means that I was crittable. However, the run went very smoothly.

I've tanked every heroic multiple times, all of the 10 man bosses in Naxx, most of the 25 man bosses in Naxx, and I can say that it feels extremely viable. I feel easy to heal, and the gameplay is fun and engaging. It doesn't feel like any of the tank classes are the dominant class, but rather each of us excel at different encounters. For example, I am very good at picking up adds, especially on Sartharion, and I am very good on fights with periods of no healing such as Maexxna and Loatheb. When I soak Hatefuls on Patchwerk I take less damage than the melee tank.

With all current content cleared I am searching for further ways to challenge myself. I will be working hard on the achievement "Glory of the Hero", and I'd like to kill Sartharion in 10 and 25 man with three drakes up.

I'm not sure how many people read this blog, and I'm not sure what those that do want to know about, so feel free to address that in the comments.
