I'm really hoping they make this a small step towards more gearing options and/or stat complexity, not fewer/lesser (e.g. scaling tank AP solely off Vit, removing all tank use for slaying gear). I like the meta where it's at, aside from how PLD is so far behind in MT and especially AOE dps (the latter I wish they could make up for in a different way, perhaps, than just actual spammable damaging AoEs, etc).

More fending accessory viability (especially in regards to enmity, parry/block value, and self-healing--all the non-dps components slaying accessories aid) would be great, but if anything I'd rather non-tanks see a bit more reason to wear Fending gear outside of cutting edge content 'cheese strats' than for tanks to have zero use for Slaying accessories.
