Zaramina did not die "many many times" -- only a few... like, 4 max. And out of those 4, there was only 1 (singular) time that I thought you might have been able to prevent it. I've played a warrior and a priest to 60 so I'm very familiar with how annoying aggro-magnet mages can be -- I'm sorry I'm now being one. :p Kaziel makes an excellent point: being main tank and main healer is not a good time to gauge your effectiveness at either. I'm not too worried about my current aggro status. If the mage dies in a few AoE moments, so long as it is only the mage, I view it as an occupational hazard. I also need to work on my familiarity with my 'save my own butt' mechanisms. Don't schweat it, schweety -- yer doin' foyne. :D Piffle!

As long as you are tanking, you can't really use this ability, because it makes you completely vulnerable for a minimum of one second. This info also extends to Avenger's Shield when/if you get it, since it will mean that after the patch is implemented you still won't be able to use it mid-combat.

Also, don't forget at your level you don't have that great a mitigation level... even if you have the +20 defense talent, you're just too low level. Also, as you get past 50 and start being able to find normally available +spell damage gear, that will be another huge boon in your ability to tank since you'll be able to put out more Threat Per Second. The primary reason not to use this to gage your tanking ability is that you were playing dual roles of main healer and main tank. This makes a huge difference, since when you're casting you can't be blocking, dodging, or parrying. It really makes a huge impact on your ability to tank.
