I'm thinking of getting her a DW frost spec for tanking. Thoughts on this? Two hander is better? I was looking at this on EJ:

and they recommend "the classic"

Re: Lesasia the Tank?
My understanding is that DW tanking is doable, but harder to maintain threat because your offhand won't be hitting nearly as much as the main. It seems fairly easy to hitcap a 2h, but you might end up gimping yourself trying to overcome the offhand penalty.
Re: Lesasia the Tank?
Hmm. Did some more research. It looks like 13-51-7 is a general purpose build and is good for DW and 2H. Err, not quite. The frost points are placed a little differently in DW and 2H. Interesting.

Re: Lesasia the Tank?
After running things through Rawr, I've found that if I buy some rep gear, craft some tempered saronite, and do unmentionable things, I can get Lesa to 541 defense. Word. She may be tanking heroics kinda soon
