I've got to echo a lot of the sentiments here. I want a raid that tests my ability to take huge amounts of incoming damage. Dealing damage is fine, but the fact that tanks were clearing A1-4 wearing mostly strength gear with minimal care for their overall tankiness makes me very sad.

I know a lot of tanks adore the current meta, so I doubt we'll see much change, but I want encounters that hugely test our ability to stay alive to the absolute peak, rather than just arbitrary cooldown pops at scripted points and shoving the responsibility onto the healers.

Or at least the kind of encounters where tanks have some kind of choice between either pure dps to make the encounter easier from a speed/phase skipping perspective, or easier via being super tanky and alleviating raid stress that way. I despise the current tank meta where we're expected to drop so much of our tankiness to minmax dps, because the tankiness isnt required. I actually want to feel like a tank again.
