Please Please fix Warrior before the release of Raids

Unfortunately, I cannot claim credit for most of these. I just picked out some of the more entertaining suggestions from earlier in the thread. The dragon punch idea was mine, however.

In all seriousness, however, I do think that Unchained/Inner Release should be on different cooldowns. Under the present system, you will need to enter Defiance earlier to build up gauge if you want to use IB. Unchained could be used to lessen the dps loss from this if you manage your resources smartly. However, as long as it shares a cooldown with Inner Release, it will see little to no use, as you cannot afford to miss those windows.

Most of the Onslaught complaints reflect a relative lack of familiarity with gap closers and melee gameplay in general. If you watch skilled melee dps players at work, you very quickly understand how precious uptime actually is. Any lost GCD is a big loss, and a 15s recast gap closer is incredibly powerful.

Actually, I rather like WAR, even if I'm not too fond of the culture that's sprung up around it. I was a WAR main throughout ARR, and my co-tank is a WAR main. The stance dancing issues that people are complaining about are actually reminiscent of how it was previously, as dropping stance cost you all of your stacks. I like gameplay which involves trade-offs, as long as they give you tools to work around them. I think if you stick with it, and try to push the limits of the job, you might find the higher skill ceiling makes your job more rewarding to master. Or not, if that's not your thing and you want something more laid back.

My initial impressions were that DRK has some catching up to do, relative to the other two tanks. That being said, I think this is merely a reflection of the fact that there are a lot of things that I need to learn in order to better optimise. I'm still in the process of crunching out numbers and figuring out trade-offs. I'm not about to jump in and demand changes to my job without figuring out what its full potential is through rigorous testing, trial, and practice, and neither should you. I want to find the perceived limitations of my job, and find new ways to break them. Who knows, the end results may surprise us.
