What I'm saying here is that the player focus on DPS we're currently experiencing would have still occurred even if Parry was a very effective defensive stat in 2.X or if DPS checks never became overbearing in raids.
Let's be real here, no matter what the tank focus is or will be, it's not a good enough excuse to keep a worthless stat equally as worthless as it was in 2.0. It's inexcusable, more so since most tank gear is stacked with it.
