I can only speak for myself, but this is exactly what I did. I was WAR main for second coil and final coil, and figured I'd be WAR main for Alex savage. After failing the first week of release on Faust, I realized what was expected.. Either spend millions on crafted or get all the str accessories and rely on healers to carry my squishy ass.. I decided to finish leveling DRG, saved up for eso weapon while I did that and went back to running DRG with relative success (final phase a3s before static split). I probably wouldn't have got that far if I remained WAR because I wasn't really willing to gut my survivability as a tank.

But that was exactly my thought, "If all I'm going to do is DPS then I might as well be a damn DPS".
