I don't often create news articles just for videos on something that isn't an end boss, but this video by For the Horde of EU-Nazjatar definitely deserves it. Why, you might ask? It's a fairly unique perspective on the Blood Prince Council encounter, being that the person who recorded the video is Greatschock -- a Mage -- who is tanking Prince Keleseth.

Normally videos are from a standard perspective: a healer, a DPS or a traditional tank, so it's a nice change. This is very useful as a starter on how to tank the encounter as a caster, especially since Dominic Hobbs posted a how-to guide on WoW.com yesterday about the very same thing, but for Warlocks.

What class does your raid use to tank Prince Keleseth?

I (also a mage) am our guild's Keleseth tank (we seem to never have any warlocks, and our hunters are assigned to beach balls since a pet can solo one). It's not much to look at, but I have a lot of fun for much the same reason I enjoy vehicle fights, it's a nice break from the usual for a change of pace.

Blood Council is the next 'difficult' Fight in Icecrown.. besides Lich King, ofc! I do not know the Hard Mode yet, but i can imagine it needs perfect Execution.
For the Horde is doing good and that ever since Molten Core!

I can imagine Warlock is the most used Tank for Keleseth.. Warlocks have some nice Talents to tank him. But I even saw DKs tanking him, so it doesnt really matter.

My own guild uses a prot paladin because they have so much survivability and can put out a lot of threat. We have two hunters misdirecting any nuclei that spawn really far off, and Seal of Vengeance is good at keeping them on the tank since it's not based on actual threat but instead on whoever last damaged them. It also means we don't give up as much dps as if we would have a warlock or mage tank. On a couple pulls of heroic we had tank deaths on the other two Princes, and our paladin was able to smooth over that by taunting the other two and tanking all three.

we use a Shadow priest to tank Keleseth but thats on 10man

Yesterday on 25 man, we used a DK. But before that we had a warlock.

I myself am the mage taking the piss at in 10 man it's very fun to be tanking Keleseth.

But imo, it's not so much the actual tank, but the healer that keeps them topped off that makes that particularly bit of the fight work.
