It's certainly possible lore-wise, but it's a bit too late in WoW's running time to change enhancement into a tanking tree. Enhancement shamans used to be able to tank a bit in vanilla, and they were my no.1 bet to be changed into a true tanking spec until the introduction of Death Knights. As it stands though, the game doesn't really need more tanking classes, just better tanks.

Are you the same guy that have been asking for this for month now?

Whey not just use one of the 4 tanks classes we have now?

And what of the people that like shaman class as it is now? Is it just to bad for them since you want to tank.

I love the idea of shaman tank.
But not redesign enhancement tree, just a new 4th specc tree.

Also 4th spec would be ok, like earthwarden.
Druids get 4th spec, so shamans could get 2 and paladins.
Caster pala dps.

The reason druids are getting a 4th spec, is because feral can currently be dps and tank. That is the only reason why they are changing it.

Nothing to do with loot at all so you fail there ,ok if you want sham's to be tanks why not give pala's caster spec ? why not give a mage a healer and tank spec ? a warrior a healer spec ? a lock a heal spec ? see where iam going there is no need for a poss 6 tank classes .if they where going to do sham's it would have happened back in vanilla when they could tank at a pinch to lvl 40 .

Me fail? At what did I fail? I just mentioned it cus it could have been a reason as dk's are stealing the paladin and warrior tank loot since introduced. So could have been that you were afraid of that.

The reason we ask shamans to be tank is because they were orignally designed to be tank. In other words to opposite of the paladin. This automatically explains we do not ask mags to be healer/tank, warrior to heal etc.

Btw, shamans can tank up to level 60 without a problem of agro. Unless the tank taunts ofc.
