solution for VIT vs STR tank issue

This argument is so tiresome. Can you please quote from above where a tank is asking to do dps role numbers.

You are right, they didn't ask to do as much damage as a DPS and that was not my point. If tanks cared about enmity then they would ask for higher enmity multipliers - not to do more damage to keep enmity. SE gave tanks more enmity - they should be happy but they are here asking for changes to tank damage while tanking...hmmmmm. You should not be concerned about your damage numbers while tanking only holding threat...yet, here we are talking about tweaking stats to give tanks more damage they don't need to fulfill their primary role.

Please understand that as off tanks, we are practically a glorified DPS for a majority of the fight, which leads us to be concerned about our DPS. Maintank is a bit different cause they can increase healer dps via mitigating more helping overall party output. It's not always about threat. I highly doubt there is a tank out there who wants to do equivalent of the DPS roles output, but thats beside the point. When were spending most of the fight not having to worry about mitigation, we worry about our dps. That's all there is to it.

Because once you have enmity on the boss, what else is there to do but focus on damage? If the outgoing damage isn't going to kill you and aggro isn't an issue, damage is the next step to optimizing. They have fulfilled their primary role. What you're asking is they just be satisfied basically doing nothing but press a cooldown every time a buster goes out. That's a great way to ensure queue times become even worse as most people find just maintaining aggro boring.
