It doesn't mean you're necessarily leading the dungeon, but you give the "Okay, go!" for the time to pull.
An important part of controlling mobs' attacks is "the pull." You set the pace for that. Really, everything else you do boils down to those two things. You take and mitigate damage, and you keep the mobs from attacking other party members. The tank's job is made up of two primary roles. In general, paladins have a large defensive toolbox, death knights have unparallelled control over mob placement, druids are made of raw stamina and mitigation, while warriors mix aspects of all four. To reduce them to soundbites can be difficult. While each class has its benefits and drawbacks, the tanking class you choose is largely a matter of personal choice. Paladins and warriors use a shield to help mitigate large portions of damage, while death knights and druids use a combination of raw gusto and extra abilities to do the same. Your options are to be a death knight, druid, paladin, or warrior. Okay, it might seem needless to say, but if you're going to tank in WoW, you have to choose the right class.
Here's how you get started with the role. Still, the game seems like it needs more tanks. Again, it's another highly visible way in which tank challenges are translated into group performance. If the tank isn't putting out enough damage, the DPS character get "threat-capped." That's another way of saying the DPSers have to "peel back" their DPS sufficiently that they don't pull aggro. The tank is also a fulcrum for the group's DPS. Tank failures translate quickly into group wipes, and a tank who is vulnerable to damage can be a big drain on healers. I think what makes tanking intimidating is that it's a highly visible role in the group. That's pretty confusing to me tanking isn't that hard, and it's pretty enjoyable to be the tough guy who gets beaten on by the boss. When you use the random dungeon finder, it seems like groups are waiting for tanks more often than any other role. It seems like a lot of the WoW populace isn't terribly interested in it, though.
