Damage gap closer should vanish

[Carighan]

I'd go a step further and say that while all tanks should have some form of gapclosing, they ought to all work quite different and in different contexts.

So for example Warrior might have what they have in PvP, a delayed AoE gapcloser that sits on a medium CD. Paladin might just not have one to begin with, instead getting various from-range AoE options for pick-up (like Imperator provides in later levels, but something you get early enough to matter, maybe the shield-throw chains through 3-4 enemies like the Protection Paladin gets in WoW?). Dark Knight can get a system where the current slide is upgraded to Plunge after using Unmend, and for Gunbreaker I'd have both Burst Strike and Fated Circle charge the enemy if you're at range.

In other words:

* Warrior: AoE gapcloser but delayed animation/effect. It's an oGCD but the animation is so long that if you use it as part of your rotation, you clip enough of the next GCD so it's a damage loss.
* Dark Knight: Instant gapcloser but no damage unless upgraded. Requires Unmend first so it's a damage loss unless you are actually disengaged.
* Paladin: AoE ranged attacks instead of a gapcloser. Not an issue since that'd be part of the normal rotation anyways. (now that I think about it, might as well turn Shield Bash into a GCD-based ranged attack that throws the shield, stuns the first target, then chains to 3 more dealing damage or something)
* Gunbreaker: GCD-based gapcloser but full damage. Used as part of your normal rotation anyways, so no additional workload.
