Then explain why tanks cannot beat Stone Sky Sea for EX or Savage in tank stance at ilv. I mean they won't even come close, you literally can't do it.

SSS was created by the devs, tailored individually to each class, intended to show whether or not you have the recommended dps for your class. EX and Savage bosses, which have tight enrage timers, are designed with the assumption that both tanks spend the maximum time possible in dps stance.

The current use of stances is not only intentional, it's mandatory to beat the hardest content.
