For a Shaman who wants to melee level, do I need to be Ogre/Troll?

Can someone tell me why people talk about shamans tanking all the time?

Like, I don't see any stats that make a shaman more of a tank than a cleric.

It's not so much that the shaman is a better theoretical tank than the cleric but rather the shaman's more self-contained for the offtank role (the shaman brings its own slow) and there's usually more of a reason for the shaman to want to do it. Clerics can do it too when circumstances require, just those circumstances tend to be less common.
