What they mean by "change the damage calculations of tanks"?

Partially agree. Secondary stats are not extremely prevalent yet in the raid cycle which is one of the reasons STR stacking and double melding is so attractive. Once there is enough skill speed in the game that WAR can 10 hit berserk, then gearing has lots to do with maximizing your performance. Its not like gearing choices are irrelevant and i doubt that's what you were trying to convey. But honestly all of the bad STR Tanks are just trying to maximize their performance in a lackluster patch that doesnt have a lot of good options. They just probably suck at it.

Im hoping they give us better options so we dont have to rely on abusing mechanics to gear well.

I see what you're saying, but war is kind of a special case there as neither of the other tanks really have that kind of a quota to hit, and dps secondaries are still present on tank gear.
