    is WAR the best MT now?

    I bring this question up now that we live in a post-3.2 world. Tank damage has been lowered significantly. Holding aggro is no longer as easy as it used to be, where one could perform an opener loaded with burst and enmity, then turn it off and cruise in DPS stance for the remainder of the fight. Now holding aggro is something to actually worry about.

    This holds mostly true, but WAR is the exception. Thanks to our enmity combo being the same as our damage combo, this is always used. This in turn allows WAR to stay in DPS stance longer than the other tanks. Other tanks do not have this luxury, so if they are to stance dance, their time out of tank is much shorter than WAR for fear of another DPS/Healer ripping aggro. This is also coupled with the fact that the other two tanks' aggro combo being their least optimal combo for DPS, leading to a wider gap between them and WAR in terms of DPS.

    Since the tanks are mostly equal in their ability to mitigate damage by looking at their CDs, it seems that WAR has the upper hand in holding aggro, along with their spot at #1 damage. So, then, does this make WAR the new best main tank? I will add the qualifiers that I do not have as much experience with the other tanks as I do with WAR, or much experience due to my short time here, so this is not so a MUH CLASS IS DA BES thread as much as it is inviting the opinions of the other tanks to weigh in on the matter.
