"Don't turn your back to your enemy mobs. You can still dodge but you can not parry or block and you get crit more. If you have to move better to back up than turn around."

This tip is wrong, you can't dodge a mob that is attacking you from behind.

Quazi is right. You can't dodge or anything when being attacked from behind, only the inherent 5% miss (assuming that's even still around, not sure on that). Only mobs can dodge attacks from behind.

Sadly enough I've had to actually tell tanks this in 5-mans... That and "please don't cast exorcism or heals else while tanking stuff. Please."

Well since we all know that these are all really Rill using different names, here you go... Rill, its time to throw the Prima Guide away that you bought back in 2005.

LRStrafe.
As a tank I always pull the mobs and then back away fromt eh group so the mobs are all in front of me and have their backs to the group. A mob can not block, dodge or parry any blows from behind either.

Because you can't dodge/parry/block while casting.

Figured that was it, thank you. I use Exor liberally during pulls, never while engaged.

That is good to know about exorcism though. I have been thinking about breaking my pally out and leveling him in LFD.

For a time Exorcism was insta cast and when they changed it back to a timed cast I had trouble not using it. However I'll use it now on occasion when pulling. Or as an OT when I need to stay at ranged due to a debuff or something. If it's a sinlge mob that agro'd me while fishing quite often I'll stun and exor exor judge yada yada. It's quicker ot kill them that way than reequip my shield n hammer.

And once again, Quazi is right. If mobs couldn't even dodge, there would be no need for expertise.

That wouldn't be a bad thing if expertise went away.

Is this a new thing? Didn't used to be that way, in fact I seem to recall on those little log in tips is mentions as much, that a mob can't dodge an attack from behind...but maybe that's something out of the 2005 book again...

Been this way since launch. They used to be able to parry, but that was removed sometime in Vanilla.

Players cannot dodge, parry, or block attacks that come from behind them.
Loading screen tips quoted from: http://www.wowwiki.com/Loading_screen_tips
So it was players, not mobs.
Aaaaannnd:
Creatures can dodge attacks from behind, but players cannot. Neither creatures nor players can parry attacks from behind.
