We have a few assassin tanks now in the guild. Today some of them got asked to help out as someone new to tanking had big agro problems.
So here is a little list for the assassin tanks among us:

Main threat is wither, but you need to make sure you have enough willpower also. The higher this is the more threat all your spells will do.
