Do you even realize how often a tank has to stance dance in a fight in comparison? There are fights where the Off tank is literally only useful for 1 mechanic (the rest is downtime) and the whole rest of the fight they are a DPS. The main tank can spend literally almost the whole fight in defiance/shield oath/grit while the offtank can spend almost the whole fight in deliverance/swordoath/nongrit.
If we're talking about content that matters, off tank can generally stay a whole fight in DPS stance, yes, but main tank is probably switching around a lot (or should be, if they're optimising their play), swapping to tank stance for heavy damage and when they need to boost their enmity while staying as much as possible in DPS stance. In that way it's very similar to healer play. And just like healers, in content that doesn't really matter, the tank is likely spending majority of their time in DPS stance.
