"Since 4.1 there have been a lot more wannabetanks joining the DF Queue. If you're a druid and thinking about tanking and you've never tanked before, please for the love of the Emerald Dream, go visit Big Bear Butt Blogger and check out the info he has there. Particularly the cheat sheet for bear mechanics. It'll help you learn to become and excellent tank instead of another lolimatank."

This isn't that useful of a tip because the site is out of date. I checked the links on the right and his "bear mechanics" page was made December 2009. While the author of the site keeps using it as a blog, he hasn't updated his guides to reflect changes with Bear tanking. Here is a tip that could lead to a wipe:
Maul does not consume a global cooldown, can be added to other abilities in macro form so that it is always queued when you use Mangle or Swipe, for example, and when Glyph of Maul is used it strikes two targets. It does a very large amount of threat. Using Maul replaces a normal Rage generating attack, so using it when at low to zero Rage at the beginning of a pull can be dangerous without activating Enrage first.
There is a pretty comprehensive guide on bear tanking here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1126995943
It gives stat priority, talents, glyphs, etc etc. A much better guide than a year and a half old one.

Thank you Ryan 
Sorry I let this one slip through folks. I checked the blog and saw it had updates recently but neglected to check the other links. I'll be more careful.
