Tanks (Prot Warriors) are always in short supply.
Somebody said that the hardest way to join a Raid Guild is as a Prot or Prot/Fury Warrior. Nothing can further from the truth.
I was in a top raid guild at Nostalrius. We had all content on farm and a DKP system.
The best way to gear up in my Raid Guild (and I suppose elsewhere as well) was as a Prot Warrior. 6 weeks before Nostalrius shut down we recruited a Danish tank in green gear.
This greenie Danish tank was boosted in all of our raids and ended up with full T2 in abt 5 weeks. In addition, he got a full complement of 2Handers and 1Handers for DPS warriors that dropped in BWL. The DKP system simply did not apply to him. While you needed about 300 DKP as a DPS to get any piece of gear, he always had Minus DKP (-500ish DKP) and still was showered with gear even over DPS'ers.
This happened because we needed him to tank so he got prio on all gear and DKP system simply did not apply to him.
Sounds like everyone's dream. So, best way to gear up in a Raid Guild is as a Tank or a Healer. Same thing happened with a Holy Paladin we recruited. We were low on Holy paladins at the time, and he too was showered with gear and ended up with full epic T1/T2 in just 4 weeks.
As a DPS, you needed 4 months raiding 3 times per week for full T1.
I will add here (I played Hunter) it took me four (4) months raiding to get the Ancient Petrified Leaf from MC for the Epic Bow Quest "Lok/Rok Delar".
