est the lv 71 tank had more than likely been a MT in a raiding guild at 70 so he will have sick tanking gear. One or two tank trinks and pieces I had I did not replace until high 70's so don't worry.
Also you willl have 3-4 setf of tank gear, not full sets but pieces you swap in for boss fights/trash/5man/pvp for shield block or dodge or whatever. It gets annoying but is useful when you have 2 of most slots item lv 213 stuff :-D
Example being having 25% dodge in a 5 man HC when you are fully naxx 25 man geared is bad since you dodge too much and get rage starved lose aggro and wipe. The fix to rage when dodging has been spoken about for ages but I do not know when it is coming.
I got over 30khp unbuffed in my 10man and trash gear :D 33 is pretty much the best tanks get atm.

Jon, I guess I can see where you are coming from, but for me it's not that big a deal to jump on a gryphon headed to Shattrath, then go off to the bathroom or make a cup of tea or something. By the time I am back I can mount up and run through the portal, go train or AH or whatever, then hearth back to Shattrath and gryphon back to where I was. If my HS isn't up yet I just grind or quest until it is. If I'm running our of space in my bags I'll mail shit to an alt at the nearest town. At the moment it is getting kind of fiddly for me due to me straddling three places (ie: Original, Outland & Northrend) but I am gonna concentrate on getting Outland done first.
To be honest I think that the amount of running around has seemed to decrease for me in Northrend. The areas are pretty big, but they have flight paths all over the joint and a handful of different quest hubs in each zone, so it seems like there is a hell of a lot to do in each area. As a result I started out mis-reading your post and thought that you were talking to Jens, and was surprised when I realised you were saying the opposite thing.
James, he was, but I like to hold myself to a high standard. The fact is that I could have that kind of gear, so it is my fault for playing the way I do instead of the way that would get me that kind of gear. Also, even if I was doing PvP or running PUG instances I'd be getting gear that is better than mine, so I am trying to incite myself to get cracking on that.

In all honesty there is no point, not as many people do the raids he did for those items and he will have spent MONTHS getting it all to be replacing it now, it's not much fun doing old content with a bunch of PUG's, you will replace it all so don't worry about getting it, focus on getting to 80 and fuck your gear, it just gets in the way.
Get xp now, and gear when you hit 80.
It's all about the endgame which will blow your fucking mind.
You done many pug's atm? don't bother with HC 70's just do the nexus and utguard keep tbh :-D

agreed you are wasting your time. get to 80- asap and then the gear will come and also you can go back and do allt he quests you missed for tons of gold. then buy your epic flyer and cold weather flying and you'll be set. that is until you decide you want the 310% flyer ^^

I think it's a bit much to say he's wasting his time; he's a relatively inexperienced player so much of the 70s content is just as new to him as any of the 80s content, so there's definitely some fun to be had from an Azeroth-Outland world tour. Basically, raiding is other oriented and solo play is self-oriented. I like raiding because I like meeting goals and keeping up with the Joneses. But if you're just interested in puttering around and seeing the gameworld, then nobody's interests but your own should matter. Granted, I myself have been skipping pre-80 instances on my rogue, but that's mostly because it's a case of been there done that. That said, yes, if you're worreid about gear quality the most time efficient thing to do is hit 80 and work from there.
