I have never seen the tank boots drop (T6). I have cleared T6 since the 2nd week it came out (never missed a week). You're not the only one, some people have worse stories.

It does suck when you want something for glamour or complete a set. However, with how sands are handed out at the moment, one could easily put soldiery in a slot. Granted it might not be BiS for Coil. Let's be honest though, when you're i100+ with a i110 weapon, you're overgeared anyway.

Head over to a WoW forum and read their opinions about token-systems for endgame content. I think you used your opinion as a fact to make your claim sound stronger.
