What do you guys think is the cause of severe lack of Tank users?

If your claim was true, variations in defensive stats in non-tanks would correlate with variations in their damage output. They do not.

What happened with Tank stances and accessories is you still gave up defense for damage. You can use whatever technical term you want to mask it, but that's what you did.

I said Attack vs Defense is the basic pendulum. The DPS roles have more than just attack vs defense to consider as they're the most volatile role in terms of what shifts. I'm not going to go into detail here, you can go read the DPS forums and hear everyone there make their case.
