It is much more effective on WAR and DRK to drop tank stance on big pulls. Not only does stuff die faster but the HP return from Bloodbath is usually sufficient.

WAR in deliverance with Bloodbath and paired with another buff (like Intuition or Vengence) is nearrrrly completely self sustainable while in Deliverance. You may be need the odd spot heal but for the most part they can self sustain. Similar story with DRK.

PLD well they don't have any AoE damage over and above Scorn so on a big pull there is pretty much no point to be in Sword Oath, so you might as well Shield.
