Well, I was going off the assumption that the previous statement of a WAR being superior if incoming DPS is below 350 as true. If that were the case, than it WOULD be easier to heal the WAR, as we are assuming. Meaning PLD would NOT be as good for this, as the healer would need to focus on healing the PLD more than the WAR, and potentially let a DPS die. I apologize for not making that assumption clear, but saying OK, WAR is a better tank in this situation, but PLD is a better tank in this situation, doesn't make sense : D

I'm not saying its good as-is, but looking at how each tank tanks (I am leveling a WAR currently and starting to get the hang of how it works) it would seem that if they make the right fixes and the content is built right, there should be a significant and strategic advantage to using one tank or the other. I am pretty much just speculating and asking questions. I felt I needed to respond to this as you didn't really address my question, quoted me, and straw-manned by point. Sorry : D
