Why is it a horrible thing that a tank wants to put out as much DPS as they can while still performing their role of effectively mitigating damage and holding aggro?
Exactly this. Which of these sounds more valuable to you? A tank that survives and holds aggro and does 400 dps, or a tank that survives and holds aggro and does 800 dps?

I feel like the answer is pretty obvious.
