Ok, I know you can tank just fine with 31/5/15 or 31/2/18 and such, but I've got a 60 warrior I no longer play except to go on MC/ZG raids with my guild.

So if I were to spec solely for MC/ZG tanking, what would the best build be? I don't need to farm/grind with it or pvp, just straight up tank.

I know this has been posted a couple times before but I'm looking for some slightly different input (hopefully some from Nurfed)

I like 31/5/15. All you need for MC/ZG.

I have 31/5/15 atm, but I have to say after trying prot spec out I'd say that it does make difference in tanking, but I wouldn't give up the 31 in Arms for the extra in prot since I'm PvPing and grinding aswell.

I think the standard 31/5/15 goes 5 Anticipation, 5 Toughness, 5 Defiance.

I've been looking at 31/2/18 recently.

Why should you put 5 in cruelty when you can put it into 1h spec, imho 10% more 1h dmg>5% more crit.

Remove the 3 from imp sunder and 2 from imp heroic strike and put them in 1-handed spec and you're set.
