Well of course, but the specific problem is that tanks in this specific game don't feel like tanks they feel like dps. That's why I said it's a bit misleading to suggest the focus of a tank on dps is 3rd. Tanking in this game is more like 90% focus on dps, 5% focus on aggro, and 5% focus on mitigation. In this game, outside of savage, if a tank focused entirely on dps and totally ignored mitigation(and the only reason it needs to be considered at all in savage is that you need cooldowns to survive the busters) he would be considered a better tank by this community than one who focused on mitigation and let dps suffer.

You can imagine it makes tanks a tad but upset when they're told they're bad for focusing on tanking.
