Blood dk is by far the best overall twink tank. Blood has the best survivability of all tanks, has either top or second best damage of them, and when geared, can get up to 110k+ hp. My 256 ilvl blood dk is at 105k health, but once I get both 300 ilvl archaeology trinkets on him, he’ll be at 120k. For expeditions however, I think BM monks are best if you’re farming them with geared dps twinks, simply because of the statue. But BM monks have pretty shit survivability (at least as far as I’ve seen), and their damage is not too good either. Their statue is the only good part about them for expeditions.
Overall, your best bet is probably BDK because of their multiple AOE abilities, their grips, their countless self heals, and their massive amounts of HP.

Let me correct you my man. Brewmaster is actually quite powerful of a Tank. Mine isn't even very geared, in fact he's shit geared and does amazing tanking crap. With the shield traits and the constant uptime of my Dodge chance, I take little to no damage, even if I do it means nothing as I can just plow everything down with the DPS.

I 2nd this. I've got a vengence dh, blood dk, and brewmaster monk twink and by far the brewmaster is the best. Plus statue is amazing for farming.

I think he meant if you put it side by side with a blood DK, the DK will walk circles around the Brew. So with DK being a pickable option, brew sucks.

Keyword there is "walk", because DKs are slow as shit. Monks can be at the first boss by the time DKs make it to the first trash pack.

What about legendary boots?

I got the legendary boots and around 90% mastery. Combine that with my wraith walk and the other speed boost (forget what it’s called) and I’m running around at 180-250% speed the entire time. And when it comes to killing mobs of 40+ npcs on islands, blood boil, death and decay and bone storm keep me at >90% hp the entire time and I kill everything within a minute max.

So... what you're saying is that you had to farm up a bunch of speed boost gear to be competitive with a monk in random gear that was obtained through questing?

I gave tanking a go on my pally yesterday in island expeditions. I wasn't doing legendary pulls like me and walrus have done, but 20+ things were melting like butter. I think prot pally is pretty damn good. You have to watch out for the elementals and other mobs that do magic damage. Also the big stone giant things that do some kind of smash that send you flying and slow you can be problematic. However, I was soloing this crap. With 2 other people helping, I am sure 3 twinks could melt half the island if the tank can hold aggro.
