Does that honestly sound to you like an appealing design paradigm for tanks or healers?

Maybe that works for you since you're still apparently convinced that tanks should not be concerned with dps (and that optimization, despite having nothing else to do is "dps-obession"). And maybe existing really is fulfilling for some players. But I highly doubt that's the majority. If this and the dozens of other threads are anything to go by, most tanks want more impact from their actions. Merely being passively powerful, or even overpowered, is not enough.
