I wish this image never existed because people take it literally. It's meant to be "wow tanks that don't use their CDs and just focus on DPS are bad!", which is true. But people believe it means "tanks that focus on DPS at all are bad!" which isn't the case. You are hitting the boss, therefore a part of your role is to DPS.

I think, personally, that its completely ok to work on your dps amid being a tank... however the general rule is "Im going to do all strength right because Im a tank and need to dps, avoidance stats are terrible, and if you cant heal me through it you're bad" when it comes to most pug tanks encountered.

I think theres always a way to do all of the above with teamwork, just a matter of that too all too often goes by the wayside for "Rawr numbers" etc

I've always surprised healers with being DRK, I don't take that much damage when I manage my cooldowns. Many go "Wow, a DRK thats not all in strength" is becoming common now.

THEN AGAIN I LOVE TO DPS WITH FULL STRENGTH MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
