AOE tanking and Taunt question (Warrior)

[Ehayte]

I've run against relic+1 DPS while using an Ifrit weapon......you may have found a weird strategy that lets you get away with not knowing how to tank optimally, but that's not the same as actually having Provoke be useful in a situation where you actually *do* know what you're doing.

Also, to address your point - if you only know one strategy to tank, then when something unexpected happens, you will be less equipped than someone who employs a variety of situational strategies. I mainly use traditional tanking strategies, but there are plently of situations where you can use forward thinking and dexterity to alleviate stress, worry, and healer mana.
