Tanking for Dummies

So, late last week and over this weekend, MMO Champion has be deluging us with the fruits of the PTR testers and database miners.  So far the results have looked rather sweet all around, with the 5-man encounters looking to be not unlike the stepping stone that Magister’s Terrace was get in the game if your gear has been behind (or you are coming into said game late).  To make some things clear, there are six versions of the instance on separate lockouts, two each of 25-man, 10-man, and 5-man.

Some interesting features in the loot below are the general similarity between items found in Heroic and Non-Heroic versions of the instance, and the different approach to the look of the gear for Alliance vs. Horde.  An aggregate of the results thus far is below, and (as usual) keep your eyes peeled to this space for more revelations, including (we hope) the plate models for the Horde coming soon.
