DRK competed with WAR at DPS during Creator, but WAR was never the PLD in DPS.

WAR's self healing (or sustain as some would call it) exists for a VERY good reason... The "gap" in their tank stance not buffing oGCD heals and only buffing spells by 20% instead of 25% as it should. WAR is not really ahead, it is barely keeping up.

Mobility is common grounds. PLD can stop knockbacks, WAR has Onslaught and DRK has Plunge. WAR only feels more mobile because they do not want to use Onslaught on CD, making it more available at will.

All I am saying is: Tanks are probably the most balanced role currently and no matter what imbalance they currently have, it is very minor.
