If you're being sarcastic, try it, it works. UA makes tanking as arms pretty easy. Just have to watch AOE threat a bit more since it lacks shockwave and dmg shield, though if you were really hard up about it you could put a spike on your shield.
aslong as your crit immune anyone can tank 5man/heroics I could spec Fury right now and be just dandy maintanking a heroic, or offtankin a raid...if I'm in my tanking gear that is..

True but in the order of TPS prot >>>>>>>>>>>>> arms >>> fury.... just can't beat 1s revenge spam and bladestorm for threat vs fury.
This is something that I was wondering as well, being an arms warrior. IS it possible to be a main tank as arms in Outland instances? I've done a little bit of tanking earlier as arms (Ulduman, SM, RFK), but had a sweet healer with the group. Should I bother staying Arms till 80 or should i go back to prot to make is easier to get into raids etc....

You can tank any 5man aside from heroics as arms. And even then, heroics could be doable if you are careful of aoe threat.
It's probably a lot easier now than what it was in Vanilla WoW since talents and abilities have changed so much. I remember tanking everything back in 2004/2005 as a sword and board arms warrior, when it was actually pretty hard due to lack of AoE threat other than TAB > Sunder. This was before even DM was out and included U/L BRS, Scholo, Strath the way they were originally built.
Tanking five man LBRS spiders as a vanilla arms warrior, or Scholo for that matter, sucked, but was doable.
Thunder Clap had jack for threat, Demo was useless (still is iI guess). So it was TAB > Sunder, TAB > Sunder... No intervene, no revenge spam, nothing, lol.
Still, Arms suck now worse than it ever did, for everything.
