    Even the best tanks need their tank stance for certain portions of a fight, but the best tanks can also get away with switching to DPS stance or dropping Grit and going nuts for other portions of the fight. Hell, even I can find windows to drop Grit and go ham, and I'm one of the most inept tanks that I know.
    Warrior also has the advantage of cross classing flash.So we can spam it inbetween tanking in deliverance seeming as it's the only use we have for mana anyway.

    Cross class flash only gives you emnity. Pld get the trait that gives it blind. Other jobs do not. Also to point out the small amount of emnity it gives. If you're in DPS stance and have a spiker in your group you will not be able to hold aggro on mobs.

    Yes but my point is it's free enmity you can add while tanking in deliverance.Dark has no use for flash when it has it's own skill that does the same thing.And neither dark or Paladin get a cross class agro skill from warrior.

    Take a blm monk or drg someone with high spike damage (anyone that relies on crits will do) and tank in DPS stance. You will not be able to keep aggro off them even if they utilize raging strikes correctly your DPS stance was not designed to tank. Not to mention added stress to your healers as now they not only need to worry about the 20% damage mitigation you're no longer recieving out of tank stance but now must worry about mobs running all over the place while you try to chase them down as most DPS when they pull aggro doesn't stop dpsing or stand still or run to the tank. Not to mention when a DPS pulls aggro the healer will pull it a few seconds later as they are having to use their large aggro heals. If you as a tank cannot get a group of mobs or a boss off the healer in under 3-5 seconds the healer will be dead. Considering I leveled all three healers by dungeons, this happened more than I care to remember and why I absolutely hate warriors. I would rather heal a pld or drk any day of the week.
