(Not saying you are, just that I've seen it done.) @Tenryuu - until fairly recently, tankadins have suffered thanks to some iffy itemisation, but that's largely been corrected now, thankfully. @Monique – I don’t mind elitism if it’s warranted; what annoys me is misinformation… particularly the people who preach against tankadins and trot out substantiation that’s outdated or factually wrong.

Maybe it's just because I was a Holy Paladin for so long, and I played back in Naxxramas where any spec besides strict Holy was a ridiculously bad one. Something about them irks me an awful lot even if I know they'll be as good as a Druid tank. I've even had them tank a Karazhan particularly well for me, I still just didn't like it and it makes me nervous. Elitists will be elitists I guess. I imagine Death Knights will be the tank of Wrath,though, and wouldn't argue that one. Honestly I don’t like prot Paladins.

My early experience was that of a Tankadin and believe me most who tanked with me were suprise how fast and efficient our runs was. When I hit Kara, I had to 'suprise' people there as well. Though I no longer tank, we are doing pretty good with our MT being a Pally in SSC and The Eye. That upsets me as well.
