All Tanks are equal.

Paladin is 15% now instead of 20%.

This is why Dark and Paladin are near the same DPS when they are going full damage.

What are the top parses for both?

I have a hard time seeing PLD getting close to DRK MT damage with that 5% increase. DRK has stronger DOTs, permanent 15% damage boost vs 30s up, 60s down 30% increase, more oGCD abilities, and the average potency of alternating DASE and DE combos is still higher than straight RA combos.

If PLD damage ever gets even close to DRK damage, that is the day DRK becomes a completely useless tank for anything but clearing huge amounts of trash.

It's not just that, it's also the buff to the enmity multiplier of Savage Blade and Shield Oath, allowing for less need to use Rage of Halone to hold hate, plus the HUGE buff to goring blade (both the initial hit and the dot potency were buffed). Don't forget that that 5% lower penalty on Shield Oath is actually a 6.25% increase in damage.
