Favorite PVE dungeon spec and why?

Why?
I’m taking a break from bow builds and this does some great damage while being strong enough to survive PvE melee fights. The burst is fun too.

Amazing melee tank support build. I run as primary tank for our dungeon runs and also provide a huge amount of utility through Spirits (I swap out ice and sun pending on group running with, if someone dumps burns often then sun spirit becomes useless as the burns only stack in duration and more utility and damage is thus gained from ice spirit). The best part concerning spirits is that they really don’t need to be traited to work exceptionally. All they need is proper placement.
You can also act as designated rezzer as you can take some pretty solid hits all the while keep dps up via pets.
I take wolves because they are fairly hardy and pack more damage than bears. Swapping them often will prevent them from going down most instances as well as timing dodge rolls for the protection buff to help pet tank through AoEs.
Yea, I love wolves for PvE. They have good dps since they attack quickly and they miss very few attacks as a result of their short attack animation. They also are very well rounded since they have high toughness (better than high vitality for PvE since condition damage isn’t as deadly imo) and also bring great CC.
If I was running a different build, I would definitely switch back to using wolves.
