A ranger (or shaman) tanking over a rogue isn’t ideal. It if you want to increase kill speed it’s the way to go.
I should clarify, I don't think a rogue should tank, its just there was the debate a few pages back that rogues die faster then rangers when they get aggro. I'm not so sure that is true.

Oh it’s not true. Rogues are way more durable than rangers I’ll be the first to agree. It’s just lost opportunity if they are doing 120 frontal “backstabs”.

I’d rather see a cleric load flash of light or chain root than heal a tanking rogue. Not that they can’t, it’s just they shouldn’t have to.

Rangers take more damage by quite a large margin.
