Why is this so often echoed? A tank is the ONE role on which HP sacrifices actually MAKE sense, since it's the one role that already, until Shadowbringers, made regular use of its eHP as a resource.
And even following Shadowbringers, tanks still make use of eHP as a resource, just in the sense of timed expenditure rather than comparative spending (against offensive opportunities).
Consider a DPS using it instead. Its restrictions would instead be purely a matter of avoiding its use before raid AoEs while essentially just offering a healer attention burden for in order to shift aDPS from healers to that damage-dealer, all without having higher rDPS for the party as a whole (else the job would be imbalanced). No, the only role that should have HP-spending mechanics are those that already have eHP mechanics -- essentially just allowing the job to bank resource via HP spending during damage lulls to then further fortify itself during damage spikes, an altogether very tank-themed mechanic.
