I would seriously think about your choice to go guard. Although people are still enjoying it, many are not. If you want to tank every class tanks the same (sorta, I don't play any other tanks, but the hype says monks tank the best). The real problem is every class does everything else better. Guards can't out dps a newborn kitten and I think the kitten has more utilty. On the up side there are a lot less guardians now so you would be unique. I know a lot of guards that a retires or out and out deleted.
