As a tank on Siren that is hit up constantly whenever online to run things, I have to agree that this is a likely reason why some tanks have prioritized other classes now. Can't be the only one, but I'm sure it's a factor. It depresses me to think that, however, because I've been personally ecstatic with 2.1's fights requiring active tanking as opposed to passive tanking. I've said more than once, "this is awesome, I actually get to DO stuff now!" I wish everyone could have the same kind of enthusiasm for mechanics that force us to have to maneuver and strategize just like everyone else.
