Steamvaults

Last weekend was my first venture into normal Steamvaults.  Did it go good?  No.  :(  It would be easy to blame DPS, healing, or the moon.  ;)  However, I blame myself.  We cleared the instance, but the tanking could have been better.  When it was one or two mobs, I did ok.  However, when it came to three, I would always lose aggro on one.  I was doing the tanking rotations I have read about.  Even threw in a Thunder Clap as the first move when the mobs came in range.  This didn't do the trick.  Afterwards, I started to go over things I could have done better. 

One thing stuck out was the pulls where I had to hide behind something to make the casters come closer.  The problem was the melee mobs would always come around the corner faster.  While I'm waiting for the other mobs to come, the melee mobs would start beating on me.  This isn't good because the healer would have to start healing me.  What I should have probably did was keep my eye on my mini map so when the casters got close, I would come out and TC and start my tanking rotation, SS->Revenge->Dev->TC/DS.  Somewhere in there I would try to do a Dev on one of the other mobs.

Like I said we cleared the instance, but I want to go back.  I need experience/practice/whatever.  I know the more experience I have, the better tank I will become.

In addition, I decided to change my UI.  I move my mini-map down to the bottom of my screen.  Moved things a little closer together at the bottom of the screen so I do not have to look all over my screen to get information, like where are the mobs.  Hopefully, this will help.  Well this how my warrior looks now:

He is ready for Heroics, but I need more experience under my belt.
