What would a full time tank stance tank do compared to a full time dps stance tank if they were a:

(1) Paladin?
Paladin Sword Oath contributes roughly 11% of their dps and experiences a tank stance penalty of 15%.

I would expect a full time tank stance paladin to do:
(1-sword oath contribution)*Tank stance penalty = (1-.11)*.85 = .7565 times the amount of damage of a full time sword oath paladin. This is a slight upper bound since we are also losing some sheltron casts and therefore some shield swipe casts, this is likely very small and the true numbers is probably close to .75.

Am I missing it or aren't we calculating the extra auto attacks from Sword Oath?
They really add up over time.

Or was that part of the 11%?

Sword Oath is the 11% (.11) which I subrtract off before applying the tank stance multiplier. I don’t think sword oath does “extra auto attacks” and more just adds damage for each auto attack you do, but if this is not what you mean if you could explain alittle more what you mean I might be able to better answer the question as I might be misunderstanding it.

You are correct, it's additional damage on top of the auto attack damage.
It's not an extra auto-attack per se, it's an attack of 75 potency every time you auto attack. My wording was bad there.
