We start by covering overall tanking changes in Wrath. There is discussion around threat, uncrushable, spell power and more!

We review each class individually starting with Death Knight, moving on the Warrior, then covering the Paladin, and finally wrapping up with the Druid. For each class we discuss an overview and what has changed from TBC. We move on to reviewing viable specs for raids/dungeons and what the class is best suited for (e.g., main tank, off tank). Next we touch on gearing a glyphs for each individual class and wrap up with preferred professions and final thoughts.

We close out the episode discussing meta differences from original Wrath to now, speculation on who wins the best tank competition, and final thoughts around tanking in general.
