but why couldn't it be Warrior for once :<

Because it makes no sense? They are supposed to be the Berserker tank that mitigates through damage. The idea is Paladin has stronger mitigation options and actually "tanks" while Warrior plays almost like a DPS with cooldowns. Paladin still has better utility and on par mitigation. Frankly, it's Dark Knight that could come out lacking here.

You can't bring all defensive utility and nice dps to one tank.
But playerbase think all is about dps now. All the time.
Gordias bring this in the mind, but don't tell it was the case on A9s to A12s pls...
Now you won't change this bad mentality about tank dps now. and it make PLD to want equal dps instead of more defensive utility, because the first care of the playerbase is the dps, by the way, load of midcore savage raiders, think only about dps and put as a priority before the mecanics, it slow the progress a lot.
PLD is fine i think even after this little nerf, but how to change mind of the playerbase about dps. i can understand why PLD want dps so strongly.

It isn't the playerbase but the game mechanics themselves. Mitigation and healing both have a threshold, rendering them useless passed a certain point. Damage, on the other hand, is infinite. You never don't want damage. Creator actually did more to encourage the DPS meta than Gordias ever did because it was tuned low enough people could more easily get away with pushing out higher numbers without worrying about mitigation. If I can survive everything in Deliverance, why would I stay in Defiance? It only hurts my own damage, which in turn, lowers the raid DPS. The mentality isn't bad. It's players who follow it religiously without first adjusting and developing their skill. My first tank clear in Savage saw me keep Grit on the entire fight in Mr. Target dummy extreme. (A9S). Even now, I'm only rotating in a few Slaying accessories as I level to get a feel for where I'll need to mitigate. Not that it matters since they're fixing that hopefully.

Put simply. Tank priorities are, in order:

Aggro management
Mitigation
Damage

When the first two come as easily as they do, we switch to optimizing our damage.
