Currently warrior is better in both roles, monk is a little bit better at soloing after the changes to second wind (pre-patch monk was an amazing soloer, now self heals are shit, but it's still better than having almost nothing to self heal reliably and often enough, see warrior). In addition, personal opinion, prot warrior is more fun than bm monk, but ww monk is a lot more fun than fury (which is braindead stupidly easy).
DKs and druids tanks are better soloers, not sure how good they are as tanks at 100. Paladin is always paladin, which means it's always very good.

I have mained a warrior for years mostly in prot and just leveled a monk up. Prot warriors and BM are both pretty darn fun and both have all the tools you need to do your job as a tank effectively. I am not liking arms much at the moment it works it does good damage and is useful but it just feels like crap when playing it. I need to get a second good weapon and try fury out because I don't see myself doing arms again unless they get a clue and do something like put overpower back in so I am not spending my entire night twirling.

Dumb question, but what's the easiest way to make gold? I've been flipping shit on the auction house and getting rid of my reagents when they are price nicely, but I still feel like I'm poor as hell.

Video reviews or whatever I've seen about WoD say that you make gold at a pretty decent clip just playing in warlords. Might not matter too much. Plus the start of expansions are always easy to fill the coffers up with everyone buying anything new for the first few months.

Victory rush working on almost everything makes warrior still pretty damned good.

I'm currently dual wielding 2 hander axe heirlooms on my fury warrior. I did downfall wing last night and came out #2 overall on the dps chart. I was beaten by a wizard with decked out gear and leggy cloak. Mind you I don't have the leggy cloak eithe. Warriors are so damn good this expansion compared to the other tanking classes .I haven't played a warrior since vanilla so alot is new to me. I just wish they would of kept heroic strike as a fury ability.

This game is worse than crack, I swear! I just broke, bought the expansion and re-subbed after swearing that I would never play again after burning out for the nth time this summer. As a hunter is my main I was a bit apprehensive as everyone and his brother have been shouting that hunters have been nerfed to the ground, especially Survival spec which is what I was. So I decided to try out MM, I found it was a bit meh, and fiddling with the 80% mark for firing Rapid Fire is a silly mechanic. Next I decided to go back to my roots, BM, which I was continuously from Vanilla through mid Wrath. Felt good to be back. I've now run a few LFRs and was still in the top 3 dps in most fights, so maybe the nerfs have been over-exaggerated a bit. But then again, doing well in the LFR is a bit like winning in the Special Olympics, as they say: in the end you're still retarded.

Anyway, I think I've finally accepted the fact that I'm going to be playing this god damn game til the end of time, so that makes me look forward to WoD and building up my garrison and shit. God I love my life!

While I don't disagree... how can you say they're "so damn good this expansion" when the only content you're testing is the old content 10 levels before the expansion raiding kicks in?

As far as gold goes and if you still need transmog stuff (if you're into that) then hitting up raids isn't a bad idea either. 100-300+ gold for like 10 mins of work in old raids can be nice (selling epics and shit too of course), & I've notice that no matter the level you are, cloth almost always sells. Of course that is different from server to server. Also if you do this method, be sure to check any BoE gear that drops and see if it looks cool or isn't a dogshit color and on my server at least I can get like 50-500 gold depending on the item on the AH. People love the hell out of transmog gear.

I do all vanilla/tbc/some wrath weekly and it doesn't take that much time, the rest of the time I just farm herbs with a Sky Golem mount (can collect herbs while mounted)

Aside from that.. honestly flipping shit on the AH is still the best way to go about making gold imo

Most of my characters just completing a couple pandaria zones to get from 85 to 90 wound up racking up a good 4-5k gp without even trying and thats after buying their max level flight pass. Just playing around in pandaria doing quests doing dalies and raids or dungeons money flies in really fast.

MM >>>> BM >>>>> SV basically, aaron. The gap is supposedly much closer at 100 than it is as 90, and looks more like MM >> BM >>>> SV.

I'm still going to level as SV while gearing for MM, because you will only ever use MM in a raid and with the lone wolf talent. So for everything else, it's just your preference between SV/BM.

Luckily stat priority at 100 seems the same for every spec anyway:
Agi >> Crit/Multi > Haste/Versatility > Mastery

And those are gaps so small to the point where you can probably get away with not giving a fuck, especially if an item rolls a bonus stat. With no reforging, it's only going to come down to choices in a handful of slots anyway.

Battle pets dropped from old raids and dungeons can sell for quite a bit. The common drops 'only' sell for a few hundred gold, for minutes of your time, while the rare ones like the abyssal from Kara go for several thousand. It's at around 9k on my server at the moment.

Cause I been in alpha/beta for the longest and did alot of the content like dungeons and some raids? Got a chance to play and level alot of classes too cause I got a lot of 90s on live. So yeah compared to other classes warriors are in a very good place this expansion so far.

That's key. Already a bunch of nerfs while we're still at 90. Who knows what's coming down the line.
