Panzerkin

Panzerkin was a nickname used in vanilla for a Balance specced Druid in [Moonkin Form] with defense oriented gear. The name is a portmanteau of Panzer (the German word for tank) and Moonkin, so called because the Moonkin's high armor value makes it a potential tank form, albeit probably not as good as a Feral bear.

Panzerkin was also used to more specifically refer to a Druid who is Off tanking or tanking in Moonkin form, which was technically possible with specialized gear and/or in certain circumstances.
