I will not be embracing this 'alleged' Meta. Was a DRK main in HW, and leveled RDM to 70 first. I'm now leveling my DRK and will use the expansion available accessories.

DPS folks are doing more damage than before, Healers don't have to be in cleric stance any more to throw out DPS, and if remaining in tank stance is required to hold threat while MTing, then so be it.

It appears to me that Tank players are having a hard time adjusting to the changes in the game where they are no longer DPS roles with with more HP. I'm fine with this. the STR focus on the DPS of a tank has always annoyed me - I'd rather enjoy myself by mitigating as much damage as possible, Timing my self heals well, and positioning the boss in such a way as to save my group from harm.

The sooner other tanks can embrace the role of actual tanking, it'll go much better for ya.
