This is a straw man argument. Literally zero people expect a tank to sit there and do no damage. It is in fact impossible to do so and keep hate. The arguments being posited are whether or not a tank's dps secondaries actually contribute -significant- increases to raid dps over a tank favoring parry, assuming they both have the same str and weapon damage.
