So, I was running Scholomance today on my shaman when an armor dropped that was part of a set.
I look through the set bonuses, and it all seems tanking-related

I don't understand..I didn't play until BC was released, but were shamans, at one time, meant to be able to tank?

"Shamans have three really distinct roles. Enhancement is melee DPS. Elemental is ranged DPS. Restoration is healing. Once upon a time there was a potential tanking role for shamans as well, but we have pretty much phased that out. "
