With all this DRK feedback, can we get Scourge back please?

5. People look at Dark knight as a Paladin clone, lets remove some of its enfeeblement identity to help make it stand out.

All tanks had to lose their enfeeblements, as those were being used as reason to not bring PLD.

Even if we still had debuffs on Delirium, Rage of Halone, and Storm's Path, DRK would be at the bottom because the majority of Tankbusters are physical, and DRK has the least to contribute to raidwide damage.

Would have made more sense to make DRK the enfeeblement tank that specializes in lifesteal for tanking and would give DRK a better identity than it already has right or even during Heavensward! But instead we got a "tank" that hates everything including themselves... que the Linkin Park playlists going on until 5.0 because things are going to get even cringier... And if DRK start sparkling in bright light like those "vampires" from... "Twilight Saga" of all things.... *bleugh* then we will know something went HORRIBLY WRONG...

Far more busters are magical in my experience actually. Giving both warrior and dark a 100% uptime on raid mitigation is clearly a reason against bringing paladin, having 1 tank which provides this is not, it then becomes something unique which only one tank brings. Really it is ok to think to yourself hmm, I wish I was tank x right now it could handle this so much better. Its not ok to feel like a job brings nothing of value in most situations.

For example, it is fine for Paladin to have a raid wide shield. It is fine for Warrior to have a raid wide shield. It isn't fine that two tanks bring a raid wide shield and the third option doesn't, as you noted, this is just a reason to not run that third tank.

I don't think that the jobs should be homogenized, but I do think they need to be able to bring something that is valuable to the group as a whole and is unique. If one tank shields, while another tank lowers damage, while yet another tank provides life/resource steal, that gives three ways of handling raid damage in three unique ways each of which has its own down side.

(option 1 scales off player HP but provides static reductions, option 2 mitigates variable damage but requires a target, and option 3 requires a target and for the party members to live through the attack but has great synergy with the first two options)
