Copy/Paste from my original forum guide.
Hello everyone,
I’m posting the tank spec i’m using sometimes when i’m able to tank in raids.
Primalist don’t really need to do others things that DD or support , since they are king atm in those roles, that’s why i don’t play it in BoS where you want the highest possible dps. But you can still play it if you are the main tank or you just want to tank as primalist.
I played the 5 class as tank , and i prefer a lot the primalist tank , i feel like it take a lot less damage than the other, and his cd kit + the spell he have all fit my playstyle.
What's the soul tree?

You just need to spam and use your cd at the right moment , like every other tank spec, i don’t know what i can tell you to do, just trust your healer don’t use your CDs when you don’t need to, and run out of them when you really need something to protect you.
