Protection Warriors

Protection warriors unfortunately have lower survivability and less utility than other tanks. That makes them very difficult to justify in a lot of situations. However, your lack of survivability is somewhat offset by incredible mobility. You have warbringer which lets you charge intercept and intervene in combat in any stance. You have shockwave which is an excellent cone-based stun. Don't forget heroic throw which gives you a good range-based threat ability. You have vigilance which is a really strong ability that redirects 10% of threat from a raid member to you. You have strong activatable saves like your last stand and your shield wall which make the skill ceiling very high for protection warriors. Unfortunately in Wrath for most players, pro warriors will be far from their place as the tank Kings of Classic. Other tanks are more consistent easier to heal and provide more overall utility. Protection warriors get a c in this Classic WOTLK tank rankings.

Blood Death Knights

Blood dks are chad magic haters with two-handed swords. Right out of the gate, blood dk will be starting out a bit weaker than other tanks because they don't have shields. But they scale very well.

You get plenty of strong abilities like ice-bound fortitude to reduce damage by 30% and passives will of the necropolis to reduce damage when you're low.

Feral Druids

Feral druid feral druids have the highest health pools in the game by a wide margin. This makes them extremely easy to heal and it makes your raids much more consistent. Meanwhile, they have far and away from the highest damage of any tank. You have new abilities like berserk which allows your mangle to hit 3 targets and even makes you immune to fear. Of course, you also have to innervate for your mana-hungry mages and still the only battle rez in the entire game. One of the best parts about feral druids is that when they aren't taking a fight, they can still pump out top 5 DPS in a raid thanks to improved abilities like their multi-target cat swipe. The big downside for feral druids is that they don't have many taunt options, so they'll rely heavily on misdirects from hunters to get fights started. That being said feral druid is arguably the simplest and most forgiving tank in Wrath. Without a doubt that feral druids are one of the best tanks in WOTLK Classic.

Unholy Death Knights & Frost Death Knights

Unholy dks are actually very viable for massive aoe pulling. They have unbelievably high aoe threat, they're perfect for speed leveling perfect for giant poles and dungeons. Are they fun? Absolutely. But your raids may make you respec. Meanwhile, frost death knights can tank with only a few small changes to their typical specs, so they'll be incredibly common in dungeons.
