There is no requirement to dps as a tank, our job is to keep aggro so they can do their job.
Id like to present a hypothetical.

Lets say you run with the some group on some sort of raid content, time after time.

After the 3rd threat combo, lets say your group is so far behind in threat, you KNOW you cant lose hate, even if you did nothing, because one day lag hit too hard, and you literally didnt do anything for 20s. Yet after the lag, you were still miles ahead in threat. (I know its exaggerated)

You can either
(1) use a threat combo
or
(2) use 1 single DPS combo

during that same point in the fight, each time u get there in future runs.

You already know whats going to happen, but do you purposely choose to use a threat or a DPS combo there?

This is basically what is being asked here.

In similar context, if you were a PLD, and you were fighting a boss with no adds, and a DPS check, would you either
(1) spam flash (as it generates more threat than a full threat combo in 3 GCDs worth of time) until out of MP, use threat combo, until you can flash againm repeating a flash every time you gain the MP for it. (Excluding when FoF is up, as im not sure if this beats Flash in threat or not anymore.)
or
(2) Use your threat combo only, never using flash on a single target, despite being less over all threat, but higher DPS?

Im fairly sure what you already do, and if you do these things, you're honestly already trying to do what people are asking of you. (They arent trying to force anything crazy, just that people use the highest damaging attack, AFTER they have both Threat, and Survival handled.)
