Did anyone feel the same or does it change once Getting HC/Raid gear.

Because I was thinking about rolling a warrior because there is more utility while tanking.

What do you think should I stick with my druid or rerole Warrior since I'm going to be the MT? Cheers
I don't think you're very weak. In my opinion, you're simply calling attention to class differences. I see it like this...

Druids = tank by absorbing damage
Paladins/DKs = tank by mitigating damage
Warriors = tank by avoiding damage

I have a tank of each type at 85 and multiple warrior/paladin tanks (alliance and horde). I feel most comfortable main tanking as a warrior or perhaps my best geared paladin tank. I feel most comfortable trash tanking with my druid/dk and lesser geared paladin.

That's all purely personal preference though. To each his own, and yes I know there are instances where other people do just fine crossing roles/responsibilities I have described here.

Good luck and God bless you especially if you put up with pugs
