Fouren has been playing World of Warcraft for over 15 years. He is an active player with 12 Cutting Edge achievements under his belt, and has reached the top 1% and 0.1% multiple times on various classes. His main classes are healers, particularly Holy Paladin.
This is a tank whose primary stat is Strength. It does not use a shield and wields a two-handed sword as its weapon. The core mechanic of this class is negating incoming damage, which allows it to survive even in the toughest situations and stay completely independent of an ally healer.
Anti-Magic Zone.
Death Grip and 
Gorefiend's Grasp.
Lichborne, and stun immunity from 
Icebound Fortitude.
Death's Advance.
Anti-Magic Shell.

Blood PlagueBlood Boil when 
Boiling Point procsBlood Boil if all other abilities are on cooldown
Heart Strike if all other abilities are on cooldownDon't forget to explore our class pages, where not only the best items in the slot are available, but also other alternatives for any class, spec or situation:
Your main self-healing ability is available from level one.
Always use Death Strike to restore your health in combat. At early levels this alone is enough to fight enemies comfortably.
As you level up, you will unlock new abilities. We recommend following the ability priority from the rotation section.
If your group has few classes that can interrupt spells, or you plan to fight large packs of casters, be sure to take the 
Coldthirst talent. Each successful interrupt grants you 10 Runic Power and reduces the cooldown of your interrupt by 3 seconds, letting you kick dangerous casts more often.
Take the 
Asphyxiate talent if your group has little or no crowd control. This ability stuns the target for 5 seconds, preventing it from casting dangerous spells.
If bosses or mobs in the dungeon apply magical curses to multiple targets, consider the 
Unyielding Will talent. It lets Anti-Magic Shell remove all harmful magical effects from you, at the cost of increasing its cooldown by 20 seconds. Use it only when you truly need to cleanse magical debuffs.
Try to use Death Grip as often as possible on mobs that stand still and cast continuously. The pull interrupts the cast and drags the annoying mob straight to you.
