    I hate this dps-centric meta. It's only bred toxicity in every part of the community, it seems. And like every meta, how the top 1% plays bleeds into all other levels of play. Unless your pushing the limits of difficulty in this game (New raid tier and speed farming), the difference between being in tank stance 80% of the time or 20% of the time probably saves minutes at absolute best if the DPS is good and doing it's Job. I dunno, if the tank is good period, then time in tank stance won't change much for the overwhelming vast majority of play.

    The faster you push phases/kill the boss, the less abilities you have to deal with, the higher chance you have of clearing the fight. If it's casual content then it's w/e, you'll kill it regardless, but if it's a raid then you should be contributing as much as you can for the good of the team. If the team decides you're better off in tank stance 80% of the time, then that's fine... but generally that's not the case, so it's useful to learn how to stay out of tank stance optimally without getting yourself murdered.
