I and my questing partner have hit level 63, and we still have yet to set foot in Outland, except for training our tradeskills and learning to fly. We're having great fun running the old content and completing quests we hadn't done in years - or in some cases, ever - and I love any excuse to avoid Hellfire Peninsula. I actually did a 35-minute Baron run in Stratholme with count-'em-two Death Knights in DPS slots. As an aside, this seems to be a very common occurrence at these levels.

My previous rant notwithstanding, it sure is entertaining as a tank to see the little metagames that go on with the PuG DPS we end up with through the Dungeon Finder. I swear in PuGs it's an unwritten rule that you must play Make The Tank Rage By Any Means Necessary. Some of the strategies employed for this game include:

• Begin AOE as soon as the tank pulls.
• There is no "almost." Full DPS all the time.
• If you have a pet, either leave it on aggressive or have it grab new pulls while you're busy facerolling your current target.
• Crowd control is for wusses and losers.
• Keep AOEing.

Honestly, sometimes it's actually kind of fun to thwart this game. Sometimes.
