DRK needs a revision

[Raim]

It does change how you play. The game has built in stance dancing and its intended. People who stay in tank stance the entire fight are not playing optimally. They have skills like Blood Price that now require Grit, while other skills do full potency when not in Grit. Its intentional that you are encouraged to change/drop tank stances on the tanks when you feel its safe to do so. Thats a mechanic in itself, and I don't see tanks getting the Cleric Stance treatment in the future because then offtanking would be awkward.

False. Stance Dancing was not intended play, it was emergent play resulting from 3.X builds that made enmity generation meaningless. Stance Changing based on needs of the fight (be they tank swaps or add spawns) was intended. Treating Tank Stance as a cooldown was not.

Sword Oath and Shield Oath originally interrupted combos while costing a gcd and Warrior lost it's Wrath stacks when it exited Defiance. Grit has a fairly high MP cost intended to dissuade Dark Knights from swapping in and out of it to much.

Blood Price was originally intended as the Dark Knight's tank stance MP recovery method with Blood Weapon being the dps stance MP recovery method as it was locked out of Grit. Players were the ones who found a way to use both when tanking out of Grit.
