What they mean by "change the damage calculations of tanks"?

[Isius]

I perfer the current tank meta, but I do dislike it too, but that is only because of the difference between war/drk versus pld dps while doing thier job "tank." This is purely poor execution, and decision making on the dev teams part. If dps numbers between tanks were as close as dummy test between war/drk/pld I would be fine, and pleased. It is just pld falls flat and loses more in dps then the other tanks, when you have to tank in shield oath, and have to gain aoe aggro on mobs. Leading to pld's dps to futher grow behind the other tanks.

All I wanted was adjustments to pld dps output while not in sword oath, and drk to have better physical def...so we can possibly see tank busters that hit tanks harder again.

I still want the option to dps as a tank, but also feel as a tank in this game.

The response from the devs is kinda vague, and open to a lot of interpretation, let's just hope it just means they are bringing tank dps more closer to eachother, and is only a pld dps buff while tanking, then purely a nerf bat on all tanks dps.
