Uhh. I mean aside from Triple Cleave going the way of the dinosaur that's not really a nerf per se. oGCD damage = free. Still waitin' on dat source bruh.

Given that they aren't buffing paladin's dps it's looking more like the other tanks will get hit with the nerf bat in 3.2 with the "damage calculations" changes.

I don't see this happening. They may slightly nerf tank dps across the board but I highly doubt they are going to specifically nerf WAR and/or DRK. The very idea of tanks wielding two-handed weapons dealing more damage makes logical sense and it also fits with the lore and design of the jobs. They would have to actually go in and cut potencies/increase recast times on both of these jobs to actually nerf them. WAR is the heavy hitting berserker and DRK is the inhumanly speedy big-ass sword dude. Nerfing them to PLDs level is categorically comical.

Universal DPS loss like you said. But doing so does put the CDs Rampart/Shadowskin/Vengeance back in the wheelhouse and takes away from things like self-healing. It would 'hurt' WAR more in it's affecting more of their defensive kit, but yea wouldn't be much of a game changer significantly I don't think.

but if they did nerf WAR exclusively in some way:

my guess would be it'd be a minus a % of PDEF/MDEF while in Deliverance /gross
