Beornings had, has and will have many unsolved problems. Still it is my favourite class. If you want to do group content (instances) and especially challenging ones, atm beorning is for healing. As a tank, well, it can do some stuff, but I wouldn't see it as a main tank in future 6 man or raid. Ofc it can tank current 3 mans. So as a tank, it has limits. Red line (dps) in group content it is zero. On the other hand, red line when soloing is marvelous. I have soloed everything that can be soloed in game in red beorning, and it is refreshing to do so. It gets boring fast though. So, it all depends how you want to play. Overall, as I see it, beorning is a missed oportunity for lotro. It could be something extraordinary, but unfortunately it is not. Nevertheless, I still love that class. Those strange things......
