Tank Stances.

The 5th DPS comment was referring to it's kit more than anything else. I just don't like Deliverance personally​.

Again, I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I've already co-signed the play in your speedkill in this thread, saying maximum DPS (And by extension, optimized tanking) is a necessity in top tier raiding and speed kills. I never said I wanted tanks to stay in tank stance or should have to be in it all the time by game design. I... never said I had a problem with stance dancing, and even said I do it myself.

I've said what I gotta say. At this point I feel like I should go to quoting myself to make it easier for those not reading the topic or my posts. I can't keep repeating myself every post. It's tiresome.

Oh don't worry, I do read your posts and understand where you're coming from. I just wanted to add my opinion on what contributed to this "dps meta" currently prevalent in this game and your comment about war being a 5th dps (which is very understandable if we look at how the playerbase treat tanks as MT and OT).

I appreciate the way you and Jpec respond to this dps meta by admitting that maximizing dps while minimizing tank stance uptime is indeed beneficial for the group, despite your dislike for the meta. Some people who don't like the dps meta actually chose to ignore everything and advocate that tanks should stay in tank stance and healers shouldn't dps, which imo is detrimental to the playerbase.
