When i was flying across Northrend to collect Frost resistance / Stamina for my helm, i came across the vendors with the "Epics" item lvl 200 that u can buy when u get exalted with it, and when i closly looked to it ..i asked my self .. why isnt there any tank items ? (again)

even more important .. everyone in my realm is preparing him self for Cata .. grinding heirlooms for there main/alts .. now All specs and classes have something good .. but why is there no single heirloom for tanks ?

this just frustrates me .. mostly becouse .. tanks are always beeing under aprecieated ..
in my oppinion ..if they fail people shout at them .. and QQ, but if they do a great job .. nothing is said and done,all the eye's are out to Damage meter but never .. damage taken or what so ever. healers got there heal meter what do tanks got ?

Wotlk failed making it fun for tanks .. since in "heroics" tanks still get sh1tloads of damage while the DPS is getting higher and higher, means tanks need to do more work to get better threat, why did blizzard gave more AP for tank set bonus ?
isnt DPS suppose to get that ?

i was hoping . .that now i got a decent tank set i could have fun in heroics .. feeling i am immortal,
as for dps feels there self very powerfull since the damage has gona up much higher then when WOTLK came out.

what i mean with this .. is that i Enjoy doing daily's and for a DPS most fun for him is to make as high dps he can make.
Me beeing a tank .. i like to make monsterpulls and becouse of my proper gear wich is icc 25 heroic nearly full why is it that i still take crap loads of damage like when WOTLK came out.

Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with my rotation spec or anything else related.
why is it now these days .. that tanks only gem for stamina ? and 1 other to complete ur meta ? im pretty sure that is not how its suppose to be but yet it seems like the best solution.

Blizzards is saying over and over Cata is gonna be a lot better, at least give us "tanks" the same start DPS and Healers get.

I actually never go on the forum but i just wanted to spit this out here, i hope i did not made someone mad that is gonna QQ under my post if i did im sorry for that.

Now after about 40 people saying what they think ...
Its not the Stats wich grows with you during lvling, the 10% bonus EXP wich almost everyone seems to forget is the thing i really mean but i guess im just talking with people who are to much on the forum and less in the game it self. double quoting other people ? really ?
Dont reply to me if you dont have anything usefull to say please.

We're adding more heirlooms in Cataclysm. Though I've not yet seen much evidence of tank specific items, development of the new expansion pack isn't completed yet and some of the new heirlooms we add might end up being of particular note for tanks.

However so far we haven't really focused on making heirlooms fill all the gear slots nor have we tried to completely replace all the items you receive from quests and dungeons as you level up. So it might well be that we decide to continue staying away from filling some slots and addressing some itemisation niches with heirlooms deliberately to maintain the value of quest or dungeon rewards, thus also maintaining the value of completing quests and participating in dungeons while leveling up.
