If people were happy with Stormblood they should be happy now, because Tanks in Stormblood are bringing comparable damage to now. PDPS metrics lead to heavy padding during the last expansion, and once you take the padding out and put it where it belonged, Tanks get dumped hard.
This is a personal preference, but when I am tanking I compare my damage not just around the number but more so the total percentage. While I am not home to look over my own logs or other logs while I might be doing something wrong I do recall that my overall damage contribution is lower which personally feels odd, sure we hit harder and get larger numbers but the overall the total contribution is lower. So sure in a strict sense tanks are doing more damage but overall does not seem that way if. Just my personal observation.
