Please tell me your joking... right?
Tanks had a much higher requirement to deal damage and even tank dance if needed back in SB. Now? Its easy to say our role requirements have decreased if anything. We make up only about 10% of the raid damage in total (down from 12-13%) we never stance dance because that is completely gone, we don't need to even touch our OT skills at all, and at most we need to just raid wide AoE mitigate as we did beforehand. The current fights have us doing maybe close to the same if not a bit less than we did back in Alphascape. Planning out cooldowns is only challenging in one fight of this entire raid tier while all others are braindead forward. Boss positioning? Only in 1 fight is it important. These aren't 'opinions' we have hard data that you close your eyes and scream "I see nor hear nothing". Tank contribution dropped as the group 2-3% of the entire fight. That is a FACT.
