Werking with the patch
Patchwerk has been up on the PTR for testing purposes. There are two versions of him, one of which is a tanking test version.
This is a great thread of a guild called Premonition from the Sen'Jin server that did hours of tank tests on the PTR. Of course, this is only with current PTR 3.1 changes and some bugs (Druids don't have our Savage Defense buff we were supposed to get among others) but it's a good read for tanks (and for GM's who want to learn more about their tanks). Funnily enough I am geared almost exactly to the druid in this test so this is a near perfect representation for me to work with.
Doubtful that this type of fight will exist in Ulduar but it gives a good idea as to what damage the tanks should be taking during certain boss encounters.
Dk's are severely overpowered at the moment but only because they have a ton of usable cooldowns that can be kept up at a much higher rate than any of the rest of the tanks. I expect this to come down to a more respectable level (or the other tanks to move up).
This is by no means a such and such class is the best tank test, just how to look at our performance at different stages as well as to see what problems are there that need to be overcome in 3.1.
