Tank Stances, Traited

No.

This would greatly oversimplify tanking, making it incredibly boring. The current dynamic of sacrificing offensive capability for defensive capability is a healthy one.

Now, do the numbers need to be tweaked? Perhaps, but this dynamic should remain--and meaningfully so (e.g. a 1% DPS loss for tank stance would not be meaningful).

Lol. Tanking is by no means all that difficult to grasp as it is now. Active mitigation designs for all 3 tanks would be ideal, rather than just cycling cooldowns. That's what tanking is right now:

1. Watch your position
2. Watch the threat while just sitting in DPS stance.
3. Cycle cooldowns.

That's it. There isn't some uber elite high-end strategy for tanking that only the best of the best will reach. It's literally just those 3 lil guidelines. The really high-end tanks spend very little time, and I mean very little, in tank stance already.
