    For the longest time, WAR was the one and only tank you would ever tank into Aurum Vale. Then some rogues decided to try Paladin tanks. This wasn't well received by the community at large, but as time went on, and people saw that it could actually work pretty damn good, it started to pan out better.
    I would say this is more so likely due to the desperation of being unable to find a tank. Someone probably grabbed a paladin because they couldn't find a warrior and said "lol why were we looking for a warrior, this works fine."

    Besides that, yeah it's bound to happen, but the system still highly discourages it.

    Now you're just assuming things. Despite what you may think, people out there do like trying different strategies. Sometimes a given strategy just doesn't work for a group so they have to tweak it to suit their own group. When I started doing dungeon speed runs with a group we changed the setup for each dungeon at least 5 times before we found one that worked best for us. Wasn't the decided on most optimal strategy but it worked for us. I'm sure we weren't the only ones.
