Tank rotation

[Mcsnuggles]

While I was tanking for my old guild before it broke up I was pulling about 10k TPS in NM ICC10 by just randomly selecting one of my attack skills/spells after they would CD. Now we made it to LK but didn't down him with my random button mashing. However, it's probably time that I find a good rotation to maximize my TPS output. What are some of the ones you guys find most beneficial?

I find that paladin tanks don't actually "tank" - they are too busy mackin' on batteries.

Or is that just our guild?

Well generally the /facerollkeyboard works pretty well on a paladin for TPS and DPS.

Æs told me to use the 9-6-9 rotation on my pally and it seems to work out pretty well.

Basically you use an 8 second cooldown followed by a 6 second then an 8.  This uses every gcd for an attack.

E.G. - Judgement, Hammer, Consecration, Shield of Righteousness, Holy Shield, Hammer, ... repeat

I'll go do a log this weekend in 25 and see if TPS goes up. Thanks for the advice.
