Tenacity Tanking Build for BM hunter

While you lvl most hunters will be Beast Mastery as this give you the easiest way to lvl with your very own pet tank.
Above is what my Tank pet (bear) spec was at lvl 80. tho at 80 i got my Devilsaur.
Ive been thru the talents quite a few times and with this spec a lvl 80 hunter can easily solo the Dragonblight Group quests.
The defensive abilities this tree gives you majorly increases the survivability of you pet and the few points in spiked collar will give your pet that little extra bonus damage.

Dont flash right down to the end tier as soon as you can. Last Stand and Taunt are very nice but not that necessary. make sure you have Pet Barding and Blood of the Rhino and only then think of other talents.

Pet tanks.
there are two camps in this: Gorriladins and Bears. Either are considered the best tank pets. Most hunters will say either of these pets to go for when lvling.
Gorilla have the aoe Thunderstomp which is excellent for aoe lvling and major 360 degree threat and Bears have swipe, a 3 mobs dmg attack hitting the mobs in front of the pet.
I had a bear mainly because that's what i had in the stable at 70. But i will say this; only go for a gorilla if you feel you can gather alot of mobs, keep your pet alive and aoe the mobs down. If you feel 1 mob at a time is more your thing, less stress full and not so hard on your pets health either is fine.

Note: ive touched on this before but in 3.1 thunderstomp will be taken away from Gorillas as a family talent and will be replaced with Pummel. (Pummel the target, interrupting spellcasting and preventing any spell in that school from being cast for 4 sec. (20 Focus, 5 yd range, Instant, 10 sec cooldown)

Thunderstomp will become a Tenacity ability, available to all tenacity pets, bears inc. so Bears will have swipe 3 mob hit/dmg ability AND thunderstomp a 360 degree threat ability. Making bears awesome as tanks.

GO GO Bear tanks

On a very side note. Tried today 3 manning Attumen and those who went will be there every week. I went with a very good Paladin friend and my partners Shammy Alt to farm for Midnight, the horridly rare mount. We remain positive against insurmountable RNG drop rates. My Devilsaur tanked really well and tbh it was alot easier than we all expected, took about 20 mins tops. No mount unsurprisingly. Same time next week we try again.
