yes it's a stupid idea but you might be surprised that the reason you'll get flamed is because you didn't read the
tanking sticky!
read before posting even applies to stupid ideas you get when you're bored on the warlock forum ^_^

Lock tanking is fun and chalenging. Toc trinket is great! I personaly tanked toc normal multiple times, and varius other bosses at many hcs. My advice is not to use all the cds at once and have a hunter at the party for the initial threat :D

is a smiley not enough to show that my chiding is done in jest? *rolls eyes*
also, surely that sticky thread answers your question... no? maybe
this thread
does?
also, also, yes blightman wrote that sticky for shiggles but because he approaches even silly topics seriously people actually reported it for sticky so he was forced to clean it up and do it properly.

it's a shame we just missed them but the brewfest and hallowe'en bosses are both perfect for warlocks to test their tanking.
get lots of stamina and the right build and start small.

You can tank instances up to lvl 70 just not the big instances. Just go through your rotation and if you start loosing threat (which you probably won't but it is possible) then spam searing pain for a bit ^_^. It still sucks though but if someone needs help i'll do it and help em out. Oh yeah and you might need a good healer too.
Oh and your pet dies quite a bit from soul link if theres a few big crits but fel synergy should be able to keep it up normally.

30k would likely be a minimum and not so hard to reach. the 170 stam trinkets from brewfest will be a good start.
you would take enough pvp gear to be crit capped from resilience and the stam. the problem is that you
will
take every hit since you can't dodge while casting. the aim is to reduce the hits enough to take them while increasing stam enough to allow healers to keep you up.
the problem with all of this is that getting the defensive stats you need precludes things like the hit cap and enough SP to get enough threat.
