The argument here is that encounter design/combat mechanics have changed, but perhaps they should not have.
    So bring back Flash for Paladin and give each Tank a flash equivalent:

    Paladin: Flash
    Warrior: Shout
    Dark Knight: Horrify
    Gunbreaker: Challenge

    Each of these is an AoE GCD action that increases threat but does no damage. Now tanks can stop pretending to be DPS and just focus on tanking. While we're at it, we cut every DPS action except each tank's 1-2-3, but that 1-2-3 also reduces threat on your target, which is why you need to use Flash when main tanking.
