If the tank is under geared compared to the DPS, and they have to use tank stance/enmity combos where the equally geared did not have to, why is the tank being punished despite the fact they would be skilled enough? The tanks damage is already lower due to gear, but you want to reduce it even lower just because.
If the DPS is more geared than you, then you just generate extra enmity where necessary while the geared DPS makes up for your lowered damage to keep the party's DPS the same or better. This is only a 'punishment' if you're a parse-brain, otherwise it's just a matter of coordination.
