So what is the decision when it comes to shamans being able to join RDF as tanks? is it going to be enabled or no. Would make it much easier to get tanks in rdf and they clearly were meant to be tanks based on spells and talents they have

Wait till tbc to get a budget pally taunt, then for wrath for a proper one.
Shamans have Earth Shock (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spell=8042/earth-shock "causes a high amount of threat") and Rockbiter Weapon (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spel...ckbiter-weapon "cause additional threat when using that weapon"). Between those, the ability to equip a shield, some of their defensive talents, and when played by a player who's reasonably competent, they make viable tanks in 5-man leveling content.
However, this was brought up during the PTR, including video series of Shamans tanking all 5-man dungeons...and decided not to implement this feature.
Paladins dont have a taunt in vanilla.
if we just had a spell that causes high amount of threat on short cooldown...
one of the most ridiculous things is probably that you cant join dungeonfinder in a premade group if you lack a tank class...like can I queue dungeonfinder with friends with a composition that does perfectly fine anyway? warmane: no
Imagine thinking memes are real.
As a Warlock, I will rip aggro off any Shaman tank in three seconds. It's a meme.
thats not really an argument since shaman tanks dont lack behind on single target tps especially not on lower levels, other than hellfire you shouldnt get aggro unless you're on the wrong target. The only problem that some groups might face is low survivability by the shaman so it helps to bring a mage aswell to help with bigger packs. In endgame dungeons and ubrs yeah dont bring shaman tank if you have other options, but on lower levels its rather a skill issue.

That's actually would be a extra hand. I'm a shammy and i know i can tank dg's but RDF wont let me queue as one
