Ahh, I see now you meant that the raid DPS requirements of most fights should allow for (whichever tank is at the time) the MT to remain in tank stance, not that tankbusters are tuned around tank stance.

Fair enough. But, is that at all relevant?

Remember, we allegedly tune around 0 healer dps, despite that healers would otherwise spend the vast majority of their time standing idle. Is that truly the obvious tuning point when there are still very significant benefits for dealing healer damage (or, further tank damage) and none at all for not doing so?
It's not relevant. My entire gripe with tanks in this game is that so little is expected of them. I gave up in other threads not because I was wrong or they were right on a specific matter, but that they were right -in general- that it doesn't matter.

And that just made me realize Gunbreaker won't be some turning point. It'll have the bog standard 3 combos of threat, maintenance and spam, uninteresting stances, and a burst window to make them not seem so lifeless which will be their only deviation.

But by god, if someone is wrong on one irrelevant detail, I'll still be there.
