Ahey, :)

i've began to Think

I believe this is generally considered a good idea, yes.

:D

On a more serious note, yes, most tanks I know of find themselves needing off-spec gear of some kind, whether for healing or for DPS. While there is definitely a shortage of tanks, they also happen to be the least represented role in a typical raid group, which means that raid viability is very dependant on having the exact number of needed tanks available.

It stands to reason that, the more tanks we have that can off-spec as something else, the more flexible we are, and thus, the stronger our team is.

Cheers,
J.

By all means try and get some shiny off-spec pieces with spare badges and from Heroics, and any off-spec pieces from raids that nobody needs main-spec. But I wouldn't get your hopes up too much about mainspec pieces from ICC guild runs juuust yet; most of the time, the plate pieces go pretty quickly.

Hehe no hope, reason i started tanking is i feel bad at dps :/ highest i Can make in 10 Mans is 5k with a mage and 6k on 25man with a shamy :/ so thats why i prefer healing and tanking

As a simple suggestion, just grind badge stuff and ICC 5-man complements for a dps role when your tanking is not needed. You can get to respectable levels there and I'll be glad to help you in those runs if needed.

How nice :) I see a bit of you in me! This is why I started healing on my priest :) ( and I fell in love with priest healing <3 )
Just grind some nice gear ( I do a random everyday and you can always join, I always state it in /g before I que in) and look online for rotations and specs for your dps. It has helped me a lot. My dps jumped from 2,5K to 3,5K (which was pretty high back in those days :P )

You can still stay tank as mainspec, but a dps (or healing) offspec makes you flexible for raiding :)

Didn't anyone tell you -only cows can dps!

Definately go for it - PUG/Beg/Steal/Buy and challenge yourself whilst having some good social. Thats the name of the game :)

Guys i've another question. Do you actually need me tanking? :O cos we have alot of better geared tanks, Madrak, Nactall, Sazzer, Gribley and Lideon is All better than me (i've prob forgot someone)

It's your own choice, just remember we have a lot melee dps! Which reduce your chance of getting into raids...

Well il give you someting to think about:p

25 melee dps, 3 spots every raid.
6 tanks, 2 spots every raid.

Not to mention it is normal that one or more tanks won't make it. It is no mere coincidence that I'm getting tank gear for offspec, as I prefer to fill a less desirable role than to leave 10 or more people stood up due to lack of tanks to make a group. :)

I mean i don't wanna sell my gear i just want to try dps in raids as we have alot of better tanks in our guild and when those spots are filled it would be awesome to try have a awesome dps too
