    I'll explain better.

    If one of these tanks obtained.

    Blood price on Drk, get more MP: More DPS number total, groups will always make the Drk main tank in every circumstance.
    Shield Swipe on Pld, Shield Block damage: More DPS number total, groups will always make the Pld main tank in every circumstance.
    War/Gnb the same if they obtained one.

    Now for all tanks.

    Whichever tank has the largest DPS will always put fourth front to MT and in comps, including Pld/Gnb can enhance the damage with their cooldown.
    Many raid groups will purposely keep tank swapping for more DPS, including risk of higher danger for the extra DPS.
    Depending on tool kits, Drk gaining MP can be a huge gain over other tanks straight potency response.

    This is extremely difficult to balance out, you don't want this, nor does SE... High/Top tier raid groups will pad the certain tank whichever has the better value, sucked into bottomless hole trying to balance it out.

    I see what you're trying to say, but I did mention being able to apply it to other tanks like TBN or Oblation. It would fix the whole 'DRK must MT' issue, cause you would still be able to get full uptime with Blood Price if you could target it onto the current MT. I agree DPS gains for MTing is bad tank design, but most could've been (mostly) fixed if we could just get procs from applying said effect to whoever is currently main tanking. Ex: Proc Shield Swipe from putting Intervention onto the MT. Sorry if this isn't explained well, trying my best LOL

    As for DPS, it wouldn't be much of a DPS gain if it was only around 100-150 MP per hit. It would basically just be a little Extra MP regen for 10 seconds, while on say a 60 second CD.
