or if we DO get a tank she has to roll against it for armor and it is very discouraging losing a roll when you probably won't run that instance again for a week if at all.
I don't understand, she doesnt want to tank but she wants to roll on tank gear?
(she really hates getting ran through by my main)
If the point of running through places is for gear, its 10x easier to have your 80 run her through places. Can probably farm it looking for specific pieces that you want as well.
If I were you, I would tell her to play whatever role she wants. If she wants to dps, let her run on those 5 mans as dps. Might take some time to find groups, but use the lfg channel and be patient.
If you want strictly gear, convince her that it will take a fraction of the time to gear her up using your level 80.
As for the BoA's, any weapon would work for tanking. There are no tanking heirlooms unfortunately so you'll have to do your best. Grab one of those one handed BoA's and slap a Crusader Enchant on it and go to town.

Hopefully the new lfg system will help a bit when 3.3 comes out. As for tanking for the two of you, I think your best bet would be a pali or druid since you can heal as well if needed and wont really have to compete with her for gear.
Low level enchanting recipes that drop from specific bosses have had the rate increased to 100% I believe.
BoA tanking weapon is the fastest one you can find with resil. thats not a dagger.
Kudos to you for taking it slow. The best part of the game is first starting out and learning while everything is new to you. Especially with female players, their main concern is generally the social aspect, followed by killing stuff and when they hit 80, max dps.
