The new raiding meta is making me want to quit.

This is the problem, you're a tank, not dps, yet a threat to your big numbers would make you quit? Some tank you are. If it's about pushing yourself, how does altering the damage calculation or lower numbers change that? You will still be able to push yourself for maximum damage as a tank if you want. But you're acting like the number itself matters, why exactly? If all you wznt is big numbers go play DPS.

What good is a warrior or dark knight if they hit like wet noodles while wielding a giant 2-handed axe/greatsword. Wouldn't make sense to me. They are meant to deal high damage for bigger self heals and generate more threat.
