Another request for Shaman Tank

Please, when is it planned to add specialization for Shaman as Tank ? It would be great if we finally have a mail tank (Tanks stats: 3xPlate, 3x Leather)
If Bealgrim could be a shaman tank, why not a player? Even in the past some spells like [Rockbiter Weapon] ( attack power and threat increase) suggested that shaman could be a Tank.

Thanks

I really second this!
In the vanilla WoW Shaman was only accessible for the horde player while alliance got a 3 role paladin (tank, dps, heal). I strongly believe there was a plan with the shaman to be its counterpart, but tank spec didn’t finally happen back then.

I also see how tanking was different back then to what we have today.

From immersion perspective, I can see my dwarf shaman encase itself in stone as an active mitigation (say shield block), sunder ground, have aoe taunt totems and much more.
Just please don’t make it so my elemental is tanking…

To a player with shaman main this makes total sense - all other hybrid classes have their tank spec. Even the lore supports it. I can imagine the uniqueness of such tank - earth element based, with defensive and absorbing totems and terrain manipulation. How cool and creative would be that!? I am voting for shaman-tank!
