(To further draw from cleric stance, there could be a penalty to defence, similar to the penalty to healing while in cleric stance -- especially since tanks would be able to go "stance-less" to avoid defence penalty. But it might also require adjusting the whole damage penalty on tank stance, since the difference of going from tank stance to dps stance would be not only +20/25% (WAR has higher damage penalty in tank stance than PLD & DRK) but also the increased boost of switching VIT/STR. I dunno. It might include removing the damage penalty AND lower over-all damage instead. Which would kind of defeat the purpose ^^; )
