Prot Warriors are NOT happy (WoTLK raiding)

Dearest Blizz: We are well aware that you have not yet finalized talents, but from what we've seen and heard so far, we prot warriors are EXTREMELY unhappy at our raid spot(s) in WoTLK raiding.

There is a reason that we deserve to remain the BEST single boss target tank... we utterly suck at everything else in the game. Buffing our multitanking ability is a welcome buff, and the supposed increase in our damage output, of course will be appreciated, but those improvements are mere fluff when compared to the massive (relative) nerfs we are receiving when compared to other tanks, specifically druids.

Even now in end game TBC raiding, an equally geared, equally skilled druid can perform BETTER than us, for the mere fact of much, much better tps production. Yeah, you throw in a few "gimic" fights which require a shield to reflect, and that's about it ....The removal of crushings, (which even now arent that large of a negative for using a druid, b/c how often does a series of crushings actually occur? once/ month?? if that?) is our death blow. Raid wide shout? GIve me a break. The dps warrior can take care of that. At the very least give us the ability to apply 2 buffs simultaneously ( and not just CS/BS..give us something new)

Druids are OTs. Pallies are multimob tanks. DKs..fine give them casters to tanks...But we DEMAND to remain the BEST single target raid boss MAIN tanks.

please fix

Despite the fact that nobody has raided in the beta yet, you really answered your own complaint here. Please be patient and leap around a little bit longer as we are continuing to work through all the talent trees for all the classes. They won't be done overnight but they will get done.
