Well said. Every other job has a BiS set, but tanks have so much flexibility in gearing options. You have a scholar that puts out a ton of damage? Wear crafted or a mix of slaying/fending to give them more wiggle room. Your healers are more pure healers? Go ham with all slaying. Tanks are in a great spot right now with balance and gear options. MMOs have dumbed down gear sets and eliminated or dumbded down skill trees, so it's actually refreshing to have options.
