Tanking from Many Angles

Discussions on tanking are popping up all over.  (This must be the topic of the week in the Blog-o-Sphere.)  The first article explains how a feral druid in bear form tanks and is a guide for those new to bear tanking.

Last, here is a discussion of exactly what a main tank is and what their responsibilities in a raid should be.  Note that the article is really talking about raid attendance and the main tank's responsibilities.
