And how they made WAR better MT exactly? We didn't get a single defensive ability in this expansion?
If you mean that they boosted dmg on IB and Defiance, I would say they had no choice considering they reverted attack power for tanks back to STR...

There's no more opportunity cost for utilizing Vengeance/Raw Intuition for their defensive capabilities instead of burning them for stacks. Also with a full gauge and Infuriate up if you don't have any other CDs available you can chain 3 Inner Beasts for 18s of uptime of one of our mitigation tools. With Intervention and The Blackest Night PLD/DRK can help mitigate in the OT role and PLDs damage has been increased so much that those two jobs actually now bring something to the OT role where previously WAR brought so much more to the OT role than they did that, while WARs were always good MTs, they were more often than not shoehorned into the OT.

I'm sorry, but if 3.x MT Warrior used Vengeance and/or Raw Intuition for stacks, there was clearly something very wrong with him...

Fair enough, although this looks very far-stretched, considering that WAR will rather use gauge for Unchained and Upheaval if is MT single target and SC spam if tanking group.

I agree that DRK and PLD now bring some utility as OT, but they bring it also as MT. WAR bring nothing as OT, so in the end PLD/DRK or PLD/PLD becomes much better option.

You needed to burn either vengeance or raw int for the triple fell cleave combo. 30% damage mitigation is more valuable for a tank buster than guaranteed parries, so you used raw int for that extra stack.

WAR takes a much larger damage loss in tank stance compared to the other two. Basically can't use unchained, therefore losing it's big opening hate gain. If opening in tank stance, takes forever after then getting into dps stance to actually burst, making the timing with dps burst really bad (and delaying the use of IR a longggg time). Don't really see the point in Intervention and The Blackest, like yea that nice, but its not going to make the difference in say needing a tank swap or not.
