    The only reason this aggro thing even started is because part of the community is extremely toxic towards tank (and healer) DPS, so tanks need to come up with an excuse like "oh less damage means I can't keep aggro that well" when in reality all tanks want is to do more damage than they did with considerable less effort 10 levels and one expansion ago.
    Well to be fair even the JP community was saying that aggro would be a problem. See my comment here.

    Aggro was an issue while maximizing DPS though so it wasn't entirely an excuse. It was true to an extent.

    From here:

    It could be harder to hold enmity for a good tank, though. The way tank AP scales right now has DPS pulling ahead in scaling. In current AP ratios, left unchecked, DPS would have been ridiculously ahead of tanks. WAR/NIN shenanigans are the only reason enmity is currently a non issue while maximizing dps, not because of Tank AP on gear being decent.

    I mean, yeah, I could sit in tank stance spamming Butcher's all day and never lose hate, but that's not good play.
    For me personally, I just like using my full kit. I don't care about the AP nerf in terms of actual DPS ceiling, because I'm not hitting 3k anyways.

    But I do agree a portion of the community is very toxic towards tank and healer DPS.
