Well you are suppose to tank in tank stance

So?

In the middle tiers, where tanks are more likely to be using tank stance than the top parses, the DPS disparity is even larger.

And yet what seems to be the prevalent attitude is that it's one of the seven deadly sins to even consider that.

I personally use it as a fallback. If I suspect the healers can't keep up, are going for super-pulls in dungeons, or threat is creeping up on me, I'll go to tank stance for a while. But I also won't deny it's more helpful (and satisfying) to tank outside of tankstance.

I'm sure you're just exaggerating.

Tank Stances have always been considered to be the last resort for when things are about to go downhill, as they offer nothing desireable beyond the mitigation.

Tanks who knows how much their DPS can contribute to a fight will always want to avoid their tank stance as much as possible.

Unless they shift their battle and job designs notably, this is here to stay.

tanking without grit or sho requires party's teamwork, if you don't lose aggro in dps stance it's because the whole party manage their aggro, since the middle tier of players pug a lot, stay in grit.....

I play with pug and I don't use Grit/ Defiance except for locking the aggro at the begining.
