I usually use Anub as a main tank and I am doing just fine. With the beetle spec and a solid healer, you can be quite effective after lvl 7

If opponents have 2 or 3 stuns you will be dead which is hard to say for other great tanks.

Just compare the stats with other heroes:
Johanna has 1000 starting HP + 230 per level
Muradin has 1040 + 240 per level
ETC has 1040 + 240 per level
Butcher!(that is assassin) has 920 + 200 per level
Thrall(another assassin) has 875 + 180(IIRC) per level
Anub'Arak has 800 + 180 per level...

He is really weak with just raw HP and his shield doesn't compensate for the lack of his tanky talents. One of the reason for all of that is because he has burrow charge ability and can almost always escape from team fights as he has high range on that ability and is invulnerable while doing it, but then again you aren't tanking if you are running from fights, right?

Not saying that he can't work as single tank, but it is difficult if opponents know what to do. Out of all tanks, he would be the first to focus down from my team simply because I know that we can blow him up in few seconds unlike other tanks.
