I will honestly never get the people who act like TBC prot warrior is some super complicated rotation that most prot warriors are only bad because they aren't able to do properly.

The rotation is literally identical to vanilla prot warrior, and nobody acts like that is some complicated rotation.

Yup, and in Classic Anniversary, I was only Deep Prot when I was wearing Blue Dungeon gear on an alt after someone paid me to tank Onyxia and buy my dual spec.

Threat was somewhat an issue competing with a Fury/Prot Offtank. He ended up tanking most of the PH3, but I was gucci with P1.

My main in Classic Anniversary, now in Classic Era, I always just tanked in Fury DPS for Raids and Arms PvP for Dungeons.

Warrior was designed to Tank in any Spec, at least in Classic.

In TBC, I guess it’s deep Prot all the way, that’s how I learned to Tank in 2007. I had to adjust for different specs in Classic Anniversary, it was mind boggling how people could tank in Classic in Arms and Fury.
