Not again...

Well here's the thing, they took 90% of WAR and DRK's utility away and they're highly unlikely to just hand it back over. I think most DRK/WAR mains understand this and so they're asking for potency buffs instead, or mechanical changes to make said potency easier to output. So assuming all tanks do the same damage, PLD has all these toys that benefit your raid, and the others have... TBN and a redundant slashing debuff... and now we're back to square one. With all the bells and whistles that they added to PLD, WAR and DRK could have easily kept Reprisal and Path and they would have been balanced. But they didn't, and moreover, they no longer even have a DPS advantage so... what are they gonna do, give them Trick Attack clones? Then you'd be back to HW and PLD would be benched. *shrug*

Many people think utility and damage should be balanced, and not just casual/MC folks either, I cite the most recent SOTR for reference.

And those times when TBN doesn't break? lol

Such utility.
