DRK has access to TBN and Dark Mind, making DRK fantastic against tank buster that happens every minutes. Living Dead is also much more flexible than Holmgang, but it's true Holmgang wins big thanks to that 60s CD gap. Imo Holmgang should be balanced with a bigger cooldown but get a massive hot to compensate.

GNB has access to Corundum, arguably the best short tank cooldown, and a higher DPS that synchronize better with 2 mins buff.

WAR is in a very good position but very far from invalidating other tanks.
People always seem to forget that PLD's have the longest Invul by a mile which is a key downside to the job, while warrior has the shortest. it being a "true invul" does not matter for the majority of content.

2 raid wides? yes this is nice but Passage of arms is a very rigid cooldown in useage you cannot use Passage in a lot of instances where a 15% Mit would be useful, due to its cone AOE you're generally going to get uses in stack situations, PLD also has divine veil nerfed compared to shake because of this. "ranged combo" isn't really used in current design.

GNB's HOC, is not really "the best short CD" It's holy sheltron, I guess the excog effect can be nice in a pinch but it's 15% + 15%, Other tank mits are very similar, BW being 10% + 10% and 400 potency shield, TBN Being a 25% shield, they all have a very similar impact with DRK being the most unique and better then stacked with mitigation.

Other tanks do have some niche upsides but even in Paladin's case the best example of something close to warriors level it already suffers from such a long Invul compared to warrior.
