I’m looking for tank to main. I have max level druid, dh and 41 dk. I haven’t never tried guardian, but that’s still of the list (Too simple). I have very little exp about paladin and no exp about monk at all. Please explain why i should choose that class you recommend.
I would choose DK, fits the theme of the expansion and easy to master Blood. I don’t really have much else to say, they are like warriors but on steroids and eternal hunger for killing. 
They all act very differently, and none are crazy better. Played all tanks 15-20 keys and tanked raids. Skill on a tank is way more important then the class, generally tanks are balanced very well. Like now every tanks done mythic raid and 30+ keys.
DH - fast and fun, has spots in the rotation with no defensives up (can die easy played wrong)
Monk - Very spammy class, smooth damage taken for the healer, very punishing if you play wrong
DK - High self heals and brill utility, all about pooling runic power for big self heals when ya need em
Pally - very simple and straight forward tank now, high damage and physical defensive, taken a beating to self heals. Good utility and panic buttons if stuff goes south (highly recommend)
Druid - Same old same old, pretty boring tank but easy to play and do well
Warrior - Strong tank with low self heals, you pretty much depend on the healer, if they go down you’re most likely in trouble. Nice damage and defensives though. Very fun to play, has been nerfed pretty hard “no king rules forever”.
It depends what you want from a tank, gonna be doing raids/dungeons/PvP? What level are you doing them? gonna be mainly pugging or playing with mates? etc
Guardian, because guardian druid is best tank. Only tank that can reach armor cap. Then if you get tired of tanking, you can do ranged dps, melee dps or heal.

Mainly dungeons, some raids.
Literally anything then, have a play on trial ones and see which you enjoy the most. My fave personally has always been DK and pally tank. DK has monstrous self heals (you can beat the healer on HPS for an entire dungeon), so your life is very much in your own hands. And pally is brill for pugs if people ninja pull, don’t interrupt (generaly play bad), as they have bubble/LOH/crazy interrupts etc.
Depends what you’ll be playing - pushing high keys, mythic raids, etc. For anything else all tanks should be fine(not sure about pvp)
When it comes to tanks don’t worry about the meta, unless you plan on doing world firsts.
Pick your favouite class fantasy, people will still want you. Tanks are always wanted.
Guardian is very easy to pick up and learn.
Paladin have a lot of utility.
DK is the best tank in SL followed by Brewmaster for high end content. Guardian being the worst unfortunately
paladin or DK are solid choices forever… they never really suck …
only task i have is getting out of bed to game
Paladin is bottom tier right above Druid
Guardian along with brm seem to be the most safe tanks in heavy damage fights. Especially when using survival of the fittest, ursoc’s endurance and the natural order’s will legendary.
so says the tryhards… 
i’ll show them how much they know
tbh i would just play whatever tank you enjoy the most :)… screw tier lists they are all good
Might be yeah but DK is above in most content as it’s a pretty safe bet.
I mean as always it’s up to you to care or not , no one is forcing anyone
