You can tank as arms or fury any pre-BC instance easily...
I got a lvl 54 alt who is fury and i tanked BRD yesterday... it will be easier if u were prot... but u dont have to be prot to tank pre-Bc...
So maybe your healer suck and thats why you die... idk..

So long as you use a shield, and defensive stance most of the time, you should be able to tank most things pretty easily until you get into the outlands and BC instances. Just make sure your healer is healing you, not fighting, and that you don't pull too many mobs to deal with.

Tanking is easy until 60. Then gear and shields and spec's become much more important. I can tank semi-well now because I respecced and put 15 points in prot, and have the other 43 in furry. Didnt want to do it, dont like it all that much, but it helps generate more threat and holds more aggro. So until ur a 70, just being a warrior with a good shield makes u able to tank just fine.

I'd say both because i have a lvl 60 warrior. but if you realy want to know i would go to DPS because arms is more of a DPS spec tree.

Just make sure you use a shield.  And go Prot stance for tanking.  Remember tanks arnet supposed to dps, just hold aggro so that nobody else gets hit.  and you can stay what ever spec you like until you get to lvl 60.  Then youll want to think about building a set of gear specifically for tanking.
