Actually, it's not the tank's fault. Samurai and Red Mage generate massive amounts of aggro and due to the changes to VIT, tanks cannot easily hold aggro anymore. So if you're not using Diversion/Elusive, it's you who is messing up not the tank.When I slot diversion it means that I do not have faith in the tanks ability to manage the amount of enmity they are suppose to be maintaining. I don't have a problem with it, had to do it last night in Lakshmi EX with a main tank and off tank. I try and run extra utility, especially as a Sam. I will slot diversion, not because I want to but because the tank(s) are forcing my hand to.
This.
In high ilvl content Diversion and/or LD are set, no discussion needed.
They are essentially the most important dps role based skills in every serious content.

By using hate reducing actions you are allowing the tanks to do more DPS. Therefore, by not using hate reducing actions you are hindering the group and thus playing incorrectly.When I slot diversion it means that I do not have faith in the tanks ability to manage the amount of enmity they are suppose to be maintaining.

Because that would mess-up existing character's glamour using such accessories. in ARR and HW, It's common to use accessories for glamour regardless of their stats. If they were suddenly class restricted, player would suddenly be unable to use the one they have collected for glamour, or to update their same existing glamour when upgrading their gears.
I love when people bring up the argument of "str tanks have less hp they're so squishy!". A good tank that mitigates and does damage beats a tank that's in vit that doesn't mitigate or pull their weight. As a drk MT you can eat every Susano EX mid buster at the start with TBN and a CD and have your CDs up for the tank swap and I've mitigated more damage while dishing it out at the same time.
This discussion has been beaten with the ugly stick so much it's irrelevant at this point, the good tanks will adapt over the bad ones.
Also HP and mitigation are completely different and are not the same so stop comparing them as one single entity.
