Bear is quite possibly the simplest form that druids possess. Bear tanking is very simple, few buttons to hit, and abilities to rely on. For the next day or two I'm going to talk on different druid tanking subjects, Gear, Abilites, Talents and over all strategy.
It was a toss up between starting with abilites and talents but I decided on talents first.
I recommend something along the lines of...

You can fight over it all day, But you need to have survival of the fittest, you cant tank with out it.
Where most tanks have to obtain a certain amount of defense to be uncrittable, We druids do not, we are the only class who does not have too.(Till next expansion so I've heard) SotF by definition makes that so we don't have too, Get it.
Infected wounds is basically thunder clap for us, and amazing at reducing our damage taken. Notice that the spec I have gives expertise(through primal precision) which is vital for tanking since it decreases chance to be dodged or parried when attacking.
And my last point for this post is that I gained a lot of attack power using this spec, Which is vital to keeping aggro. I think the rest of the talents are self explanitory but if anyone has questions please ask either here or though my email, sanfordanddruid@yahoo.com
