I don't know much about druid tanking, but as for tanking in general, just make sure you have a OT that your comfortable with. Besides a couple of single tank fights, there really isn't a main separation between a OT and a MT. So make sure you always have good communication with your tanking partner and you healers.
Cheers,
Hat

There's stickies and guides on this forum and all over the internet about how to gear/spec, so I'm just gonna comment on bear specific stuff in BWD.
Magmaw
: You can go cat for his exposed head phase.
Omnitron
: Nothing in particular.
Maloriak
: As a druid you should tank Maloriak, savage defense isn't good for add tanking. Save berserk for one of the green phases and help out on the adds (it won't be up for the next one sadly). You should be assigned to interrupt the first arcane storm that comes right at the start of the green phase since your interrupt has a 13 yd range. Or have a ranged do it.
Atramedes
: In phase 2, If you're pursued, chain dash and stampeding roar. If not, innervate your healers and use tranquility.
Chimaeron
: Use tranquility on one of the feud phases. In phase 2, once he has landed a hit that takes you below 10k, you can use frenzied regen to take another (unless it's double attack)

Here is a tip for fighting the OnMyLawn Defense System;
Once the trons go into the shield phase (and you are unable to attack them), the lack of SD will mean you get your face kicked in. Make sure the healers are aware of this. Many healers think that the damage will be lower during that phase but the opposite is true.
We've also done a strat where I'll take the newest activated tron, (this always having my SD proc) while the OT just taunts and holds the tron that is nearing the shield phase. This does take more coordination but is less taxing on the healers.

The shield only lasts 10 seconds or so. Pop a cd.

This is absolutely unnecessary. You have Barkskin up for each shield phase, and don't forget to reapply Demo Roar as it starts. The shield is only 10 seconds.

Omnotron
, when you have Magmatron and Arcanotron up and the shield of one of them falls down, drag the trons to one place, and pop Berserk for

Second on the 'you should tank Maloriak' sentiment. Warriors are the perfect choice for the adds along with DKs.
And LOL @ epic cleavage. <3 Thror.

I suppose it depends on your release strategy and 10 v. 25.
