The Complete Protection Warrior Guide | Cataclysm Classic

The protection warrior is not a meme, and it's a bit unfortunate that they are seen in such a negative light by the community (partially responsible for that).

Will they be as strong main tanks as blood DKs? No. But that's not the role they fulfill. Don't be the guy that omits a protection warrior from the roster on the basis it's not a meta pick.
