Having trouble deciding

Guard swapping is an integral part of tanking in any environment. it's what separates mediocre tanks from good ones.

practise it.

Just 'guardswapping' seperates bad ones from mediocre ones, swapping in accordance to what is actually going on seperates mediocre ones from good ones.
There are plenty of tanks that prematurely/randomly swap just for the sake of swapping and leaving a seemingly good impression...
Someone's HP drops one percent, tank swaps, former guardee dies within 1-2 GCDs ~ current guardee remains basically untouched.

It requires the ability to think ahead a tad; read the engagement, and not just 'react' to bars moving up and down. I.e.: getting used to swapping guard != learning <how> to properly swap ~

Thanks everyone, I didn't realize til this morning that I got more responses, I'll look up that, "ENEMY" addon and download it, if you have a link and can provide I would appreciate it. I've gotten my BO up to lvl 13 but I think I'm going to roll a Chosen. Reasoning is a little silly, but being in IC and seeing high lvl Chosen & BO's, the high lvl Chosen gear just looks immensely better imo, and I've been told there is a possibility in the future that the devs will add in Nurgle themed armor, which, uh, yes please.
