    It woudn't make any sense from a balance standpoint for one tank to have a DPS LB.

    You're probably right, but unless something changes from ARR than tanks almost never use our Limit Breaks. I would rather we have a dps limit break of some kind than what we have, which is almost no limit break at all.

    T13 requires a tank LB at Teraflare. There's other situations where a well placed tank LB can save a run as surely as a well placed healer LB can. It only makes sense that the DPS LB's will get used far more often than the support style ones.

    You're right, our Limit Break has its uses (Ultima HM has been one of my favorite fights! And the most common strategy included a tank limit break), but the ratio of when dps use their limit breaks compared to when tanks (or healers) use theirs is massively unbalanced. I would love to see that ratio evened out somehow and I think the easiest way is to redesign the tanking limit break, not necessarily into a dps limit break, but into something that is useful more often than what we have now.

    Need more fights like Ultima Weapon Trial, where tank LB is needed to survive a certain mechanic.
