What if Tanks were treated like Healers?

[Katish]

There is no tanking equivalent for 'Sylphie'.

I'd argue there is one or something close enough, but it works in reverse, tanks who do not press their mitigation buttons.
This is apparent even more so on wall-to-wall pulls if doing dungeons and the tank isn't pressing their mitigation or during raids where the tank is all like yeah I'mma take this tank buster without mitigation, it requires healer concentration which eats what could have been the healer personal damage numbers.

I see the sylphie argument not limited to just healers ( healers that only heal) but rather it's not performing your job correctly. Healers are supposed to healer, no duh, but they have to contribute to damage as well. Where a tank has to worry about damage, but also has to contribute to mitigation and mitigating their own tank busters. Which leads to a tank 'Sylphie' or at least fits to some other term but the Sylphie ideology is there.
