Stacking sunfire and spinning isn't tanking.

Right now the tank you could from are most likely :

Shen (Very good tank, nice ultimate, can jungle, do "decent damage, nothing superb tho" taunt too)
Rammus (Very good tank, His Ult is a short CD AoE damage that can also damage structure. Have a taunt, a reflect a slow, and more armor you have, more damage you do)
Amumu (One of the tank that poeple hate most to fight against. He have good tank ability, his ult is a root which is really powerfull. He got a stun and his other skill are AoE damage which so alot of damage)
Alistar (A bit underpower, but he have ALOT of disable / knock into the air, stun, knockback, and a ult that make him almost invicible)
Singed (I hate fighting agasint him. He have a unique playstyle, can kill poeple pretty easy, harder to play than the other, you really have to be more agressive with him)
Galio ( Most likely anti-magic tank. AoE Dmg / taunt ult, very nice tank, more a counter tank but, I like him)
Taric (Support tank, can be built other than tank, but can tank pretty well)
Malphite (He's more an off-tank, or I would say a good initiator with his ult which knockback poeople and he have a slow and a good defensive spell)
Gragas (Same as malphite. But alot of poeple play in AP, which isn't tank at all. He can initiate with his ult, but if you dont built him tank, he won't tank alot)
Cho'gath (A beast tank that can be hard to down if he's max stack on his ult. Altough, he don't do really much in fight, he have a silence and knock but, its far to be the best tank out there)
Nunu (A support off-tank, some poeple play him AP like Gragas, which don't make him really tank. His ult looks like galio, but it slow instead. Can buff his ally, heal himself on ennemy minions and slow poeple)

thanks for the advice so far guys
