Ice/x.
EoE covers your Res against hami Dmg, Hoarfrost for pushing up HP and Hibernate as it overcomes the -reg of the green Mitos.
1. WP
2. Stone
3. Ice/Invul - can cap HP
Not sure if I like Shield and both Fire and Dark Armor don't have KB protection so they are a buzz kill.
it doesnt matter what tank you use for hami..the eoes are the key.
the lead tank on guardian is invul..but anything can be use.theres not one "best" theres just peoples favorites.as long as you pop an eoe you will never die from it the mitos or hami.
oh and all tanks take damage if they dont pop an eoe. ..so dont let anyone here fool you.
ivbe used 4 different kind of tanks for hami..none ever died. that includes my fire,shield ,elec and wp...that issue is to make sure those tanks without kb protection have enough to withstand a mito blast and not flap around like a dork.
and as far as ice being the fastest to lvl to 50?...yeah dont think so.it truly depends on how much playing time you got and how fast you want it..or if your gonna p.l. it...
It would seem to me that any tank that can get a big +HP buff and not get knocked back would be best for Hami. So Invuln, Stone, and Ice seem obvious. Of those, Stone interferes with your damage dealing, and Invuln doesn't help with it, but Ice at least offers a damage aura and some help with your endurance. So for getting a tank up to Hamiraid level as fast as possible and being good at it as soon as possible, I'd say Ice.
I'm very much not an expert, though, I'm just applying my possibly flawed understanding of Hamidon tanking with my possibly flawed logic to reach this conclusion.

Stone only interferes with your damage output if you use Granite. Tanking Hami, Granite is useless (at least, it used to be. May have changed though.) +HP, +Regen, and EOEs are what you need for Hami. WP has both HP and Regen, but it's HP doesn't cap and it doesn't have an actual heal for emergencies. Ice and Invuln will cap their HP while having a good Heal, too. Stone is probably the best, though, being able to cap HP, have a great Heal, *and* built in Regen is a big win. Just don't forget the EOEs. |

Just my opinion, feel free to disregard...

I forgot the Regen in Rooted. I can see Stone as the obvious top tier Hamidon tank now that you've reminded me. Then again, I consider the -SPD in Rooted to be an indirect but non-trivial hindrance to damage dealing, since time spent running between spawns slowly is time not spent killing them. Teleport sucks down the endurance enough to impose its own limit on killing speed. So I'll still put Ice as the fastest leveling of the top 3.
