Most tanks are happy with the loss of tank/dps stances.
All you ever did was put tank stance on until you had an aggro lead, then switch back to dps stance.

And I don't know the consensus on TP, but I haven't seen anyone say they miss it yet.

Protect, in the form it was in, had to go.
I'd have preferred if WHM's got it back in place of Divine Benison personally, but either way, a 30 minute buff that is just expected to always be up is the epitome of redundant.
