At present I have to equip a full set of epic DPS gear to grind as well as my fury warrior alt does in greens and blues. Hell, he still grinds twice as fast as my prot warrior.

I know my 70 prot pally is next to useless at this stuff, especially where the mobs are melee and caster mix. Dont even think of doing pvp, its a joke out there. Unless the toons disconnect through bordem, you wont win. My warlock however is cake for solo and questing, so the warlock gets to do all the questing, while the pally just tanks. The only disadvantage is thats its two toons to level, to grind rep, to get mounts for, etc. I'd love the capacity to kill a single mob quickly, and would settle for not having to use my entire mana bar each time. Its so true that 1 mob may as well be 3-4 mobs. Counter to that is how great they are as tanks - I love tanking as Prot. The Death Knight is seriously tempting, and I'd be surprised if a lot of pallys didn't try it out when its released. A Tank who can also dps is viable for druids, so why not the other classes?
