They all got tired of us hunters always trying to tame them as pets :) Pike,

The only decent feral tank I know is our guild MT (who has something stupid like 60k health in stam gear) I rarely see frost mages and bm hunters outside of pvp and most the mages I see tend to be Fire because their t8 set bonus works better with it. DKs I never seem to meet many frost ones that arent tanks (and godawful tanks at that) I never used to see many ele shamans until I got one to 80 and now I seem to find 5 in every voa im in :( Hunters I tend to see loads of BM(generally levellling) and loads of survival. As MM I tend to get lots of questions if I join anything, I even had a pug threaten to turn me away unless I respecced - so I lied and then did 50% of the dmg done before anyone noticed they had TSA.

I see Bear tanks all over the place on Horde but not on Alliance. I think it’s cause you’re a tauren." Yeah, I've noticed this too--Horde bear tanks seem to know what they're doing a little better too, for whatever reason. (I'm BM right now because I kept pulling off of the guild beartank with my SV spec.) Could it have something to do with the extra health Tauren get, so more of them are rolled with the firm idea in mind of becoming a tank? Also: I have BM Hunter, Resto Shaman, Prot Warrior, and Feral Druid. Yay me? xD I LOVED that show! :D

We also have a Prot warrior and a couple of DK's to tank if they so choose. Our main healers are Resto Druids although we do have a couple of resto shammy's that step in from time to time.

That might be a little of the reason u see less prot warriors around. Fixing to work on my 77 holy pally when I get my hunter geared.

Our leader is a bear tank, but he's taking a break from the game. I see loads of pallies, trees, hunters, and critchickens, with the occasional priest and mage. Warlocks are rare, and rogues are rarer. Holy pallies appear to be an endangered species (obviously their natural predator is the tree).

I can effectively tank, heal AND dps naxx no worries and I am not that great. For some reason all the millions of trees dual specced chicken so that's why there's so many of them on my server. Also on rogues, I think deep subtlety specs are an in thing. Honor among thieves (hat) gives you combo points from other peoples crits. At least this is what I heard. Priests - I know a good whack of heal crazy priests specced disc/holy for tank and raid healing. Mad peeps. Nephis I’m a resto/feral (hybrid) and I’ve got to say this far outweighs holy/prot pallies.

Melee, position yourselves appropriately!) or when one of the ferals panicked and shifted because they thought they were going to die.
