Tanks should have increased enmity by deafault!

OT turns the tank stance off because you don't want both the MT and OT eating cleaves by standing in front of it, but yet you don't want the boss flipflopping between two tanks fighting for aggro so that they can dump cleaves on the rest of the group, nor do you want the OT purposefully doing less DPS to make sure the boss stays on the MT.

If an OT is so far into his MAX DEEPS rotation to not notice the MT died, then that's simply on them and when you get back up, remind the OT that he's gotta pay attention. Simple enough.

MT shouldn't have died to begin with. Blame the MT. They picked to be the MT which means they better not die. Of course if they died to lack of heals then you got a healer problem. Don't try scape goating the OT when someone else had to screw up first to create the situation.

Edit: Another reason why I never hit tank stance and instead voke/shirk to hit 2nd on hate and stay there is because some tanks can indeed rip hate off thier other tank over time. For example, although WAR creates alot of hate, as the fight drags on a PLD/GNB will take them over time due to the rest of their kit outside of IR basically hits like a wet noodle while PLD/GNB have a fairly consistant damage that is higher than WAR. I personally have ripped hate off of my MT numerous times even after waiting more than 12 GCDs for them to establish a lead. Nice try at straw maning.
