Why penalities to change stances?

Don't forget the time WAR has to spend to make up for the gauge loss if at 50 or 100 gauge. 2-3 combos vs 1 at most for PLD/DRK (mainly for mana loss, if they even bother to do so since they can just continue their damage rotation since they can use virtually all their skills in any stance)

That was accounted for in the 300-500 overall dps loss of the swao

To clarify, I was talking about not just the DPS but the time loss which people might not think about if all you state is the dps loss.

You need to be literal with some people here or they will never see all your points.

In 3.0 Warriors were considered my many to be the most mechanically well designed of the tanks, partly because of the smoothness in switching stances. Why SE felt the need to take what people liked, then do the exact opposite is inexplicable to me.
