There's been a lot of talk about Warriors not knowing how to tank, so we'll mainly talk about this here to help you understand how to tank as a Warrior,
We're mainly going to cover the absolute basics that will give people a good basis for them to start on. However, we do make a few assumptions that you have tactical mastery, which if you don't, you will need to go and get. You can't tank without it. Actually, you can't do anything as a Warrior without it.
First of all, we have the three most important aspects of tanking. Let's take a look.
One is that you should know how to use a shield. Firstly, you are a tank, not a Rogue or Mage, you're not there to do damage. If you don't have a shield or a one hander then you do not try to be main tank. As for generating more threat, that's the worst excuse as shield bash generates way more than any attack with a 2 hander will and as the name suggests, it needs a shield. But the main reason why you should always use a shield is the damage reduction. A Priest will have a hard time keeping up with heals if you insist on using a 2 hander.
Another is that you should be defensive. Defensive stance is a must. It reduces the damage taken by 10% and generates additional threat, and has a few nice abilities that are great for holding agro. As a general rule, if you can do it in defensive stance, then do it in defensive stance. This goes for everything from sunder armor to demo shout. While it may not be much doing these in defensive stance adds extra threat that makes it harder for you to lose agro.
The last one is that you'd better to protect your Priest. If something is beating down on your Priest, get it off them, your sole job when your Priest is losing health is to get whatever mob is on them off them and onto you. If the Priest goes down, you go down. The ways of doing this vary greatly, and depending on the situation.
If your Priest is close you can just switch target, taunt and then build agro on that mob until you're sure that it's on you. If your Priest is far away your main goal is to get to them as soon as possible. If there're multiple mobs on your Priest you're going to want to follow this with a battle stance, mocking blow, or in worse situations, challenging shout.
As a Warrior your Priest will be relying on you to keep them free from agro, just as you will be relying on them for healing. If they have agro, you can't be healed.
Once you know the three basics you have the foundation of knowledge you need to enter the world of a tank. However, that's just the beginning.
