An extra 100 hp on inner beast isn't doing anything at all. When tanks are so obsessed with dps they won't put their tanking stances on, then something is just wrong. That's like a healer refusing to turn off cleric stance. I do think the wrong message is being sent to new tanks because there are a lot of very very very bad tanks tanking expansion content.
Agreed the problem is you have tanks who know what they are doing having one conversation and a tank who just got into the game and doesn't have the same experience or knowledge just goes "Oh that's what end game tanks do I should do that! I read it on the internet so it must be true!" and then proceeds to not have the right gear due to their stage of gearing jump right into DPS accessories while not being able to juggle their cooldowns to a decent standard, and then gets carried through 24-man content because you only need one semi-competent tank to drag the whole group through due to the 6 healers, and they don't even have to worry about getting kicked from DF because I see on a daily basis they will pull all the way up to the first wall and then tank till they drop and as soon as they do they GG and quit not to mention finding a replacement tank is so bad I then get forced to jumping out switching and jumping back in just so the other two players can get their exp even if I can't.
