I stopped Lancer to be a healer (due to queue times) and started tanking due to what I saw as weak tanking. I mainly play with FC as either role, but if no one is on I'll DF.

If DPS & Tank are attacking the same enemy, group aggro is not hard to maintain. The best is playing with friends that understand how you play, so you don't have to babysit by marking targets and rotating your combo. As a WAR I pump out 5-6 overthrows, then start BB combo while using Flash to maintain aggro/combo, then pump out more Overthrow so DPS can tear them up with AoE. Only aggro issues I've had are from +1 Bard. Only time I really get into rotating BB combo is if I'm out of TP.. Coil content may be different, I haven't tanked or healed it.
