Oh good, there are some still :p
They seem to be a lot less common, and people understand them less than they used to.
It just came up because of all the ^&*!@ing about talented crit-immunity in Cataclysm, and how it will ruin tanks, at which point i realised i hadnt seen a bear in a long time.
I think its because they are the hardest to play well (from a protadins P.O.V.) and if you dont do it well, your group cant carry you, unlike plate tanks.

It seems that the majority of tanks I encounter these days are pallies. Are they that much easier to tank with?
From my experience they are the least "thinky" tank, pretty much "Keep X, Y and Z on cooldown"

I feel there's fewer tanks and healers overall. I seem to have a much bigger problem filling those spots nowadays than I had before, but it's probably just me.
Also, just for fun, I've been doing a
"/who 1-20"
every now and then, and I find that the DPS classes are heavily overrepresented.

Im specced tank / resto but my guild is short on healers so I never really get to tank raids.
Tanking heroics as uld/totc geared bear is kind of boring ... I stopped doing it completely except for the daily.
Right now I'm mostly soloing lvl70 hcs for the raven mount and the outland hero achievement ;)

While my guild main is a resto shaman, my pride and joy is my bear tank. I have also found that many people are apt to say "....uuuhhhh man, bear tank?" when I get into a group. When we're done they have a much different opinion of my furry badself.
Bear tanks are pure win.

The reason you don't see many feral tanks is because most are in raids. Good ferals are rare, and most raiding guilds like to have at least one. If a druid fails at feral, they typically reroll resto or boom and "easy mode" thru their wow experience.
But I usually tank the heroic daily every day... Some times heal.

I wouldn't call resto "easy mode". In fact I think Druid tanking is extremely easy (compared to other classes that can tank) and being a good resto Druid is quite a lot harder.
Agreed on the rest ... I usually only tank the daily hc and and I don't really do any other instances besides raids. And even the daily hc rarely ever gets pugged.
