Hi good people, for the moment I am trying to upgrade benetic gear or to get mechagon rings or trinkets, but I would like to try out some m+ alas my experience from tanking is less than null.
So my question to you people is, how do I start?
Maybe try mythic dungeons first!

There’s also the Proving Grounds that are still available. Along with guides and videos, they’re pretty decent to practice in because it’s done anonymously and solo, so you aren’t inconveniencing your party.
And when you finally do group up you should have at least a grasp of the basics. I also suggest you sim your character regularly (https://www.raidbots.com/simbot) to make sure you’re using your best possible gear for a given situation.

Honestly just jump into lower keys. As long as you use defensives you’re golden, the healers got ya back. Contrary to what people believe, tanks suck now, and it’s a group effort. Good DPS and heals can very easily carry a new tank.
It’s pretty typical process start with something easy and progersievely go up. So start on some mythic or if you aren’t very confident about your skills even in heroic as a tank and try tanking. If you done dungeons as dps you should know the route. Slowly move into something more difficult as you learn and learn.
That’s actually a very good point. If you aren’t familiar with the dungeons, go there as DPS first, to get a lay of the land, as it were.

You spam normals, to heroics then mythics. You learn the instances relevant inside out.
Do you know what’s fun? Repetition. Do you want more fun? More repetition!!
Smash that que button, smash it!!

Everything the others said, plus if you are interested in video guides then since you are a blood dk, i would look up Darkmech on youtube. He has great tanking guides and multiple blood dk mythic+ run uploaded on his channel and he explains the tank strategy for every dungeon in details.
Edit: Method dungeon tools is also a great addon, you can plan your runs there with different affixes or you can just download what others already planned. That way you will know what you have to pull and what can be skipped and you won’t have to run back because you missed 1%.
OK, I look into that , thanks for your answers =)
