There's no real situation to where you need .5 seconds to switch in and out of tank stance in this game. But for DRK and Darkside, yes there is a situation where you need darkside back on quick, which is namely all of the time!

Making Grit the oGCD would allow for smoother transitions from tanking to off-tanking, as well as minimal dps loss.

Having Darkside on the GCD only really affects the cases where you turn off Darkside.....which for A2/A3S is never and for A1S you will have time to turn it back on before you get hit.

Also, all actions do not have an animation lock of 0.5 seconds. Some more, a few less.
