First, let's start off by talking about tanking in a general term. Tanking means that you are protecting your allies from harm. This assumes that you are holding aggro on the mobs and that you are not dying. As a tank you are more worried about stats such as Stamina(health), dodge, parry, block, and hit(so you can retain aggro), rather than the DPS stats such as INT or Spell Power. Most of your skills are used to take less damage, gain more threat than your allies, and deal damage.
