How do we feel about tank damage right now?

[Reynhart]

Uh, yes. Tell me how well it works out if you use your mitigation skills without dealing any damage to the boss.

Again, you were the one speaking of being "rewarded for your effort". Do you expect to be taken seriously if you claim that keeping enmity requires any effort ?

My statement was that dealing damage is a primary focus of tanking.

No, your statement, in the sense of this very thread you created, was that you didn't felt rewarded as a tank by your DPS number. The thing is that whatever primary tank focus you use as a metric, which are enmity and survival, that DPS number is all you need to perform optimally and without any risk.
