Tanking really doesn't exist in GW too much; the enemy AI is too intelligent for it to work. There's only a few specialized situations where it's worth doing and it actually works. Properly pulling apart and luring out mobs is far, far more important. Which is why almost all melee characters always carry a bow with them.
(the mission I did yesterday would have ended up a disaster at one point had I not done that, in fact)
I played Warcraft itself; I just don't think you should have to turn to other sources to find out anything about the plot. And I don't find Warcraft's lore to be anything more than just typical fantasy stuff, to be honest. A lot of it is directly taken from Warhammer. GW might contain a lot of fantasy tropes as well, but it also avoids a lot of the cliches.
