The problem is not to create a black/white distinction between good and bad tank. There are actually 50 shades of grey ! (sorry, couldn't help it ).

No, seriously. It is not binary. You don't need stoneskin to perform, but it will make you a better tank by a non-negligible amount. Mercy stroke on the other hand is utterly useless and have a much much much smaller impact.

Also, i don't think your whm will cast stoneskin on you once the fight has started, or at least not on a regular basis.
