    Sorry for double post but phone.

    Who contributes more? A tank that stays alive in tank stance and keeps aggro and does mediocre damage or a tank that does the same except they forsake aggro generation ( keeping aggro, but with a smaller lead + shirk exists) to maximize their dps and add to the overall damage output.

    Also, having done both - Tanking bosses in dps stance is far more engaging. I actually have to look at the aggro list, see if i might have to change and put a halone in.

    For Practice or fights that you have difficulties with, 100% tankstance uptime is ok, but if you feel confident then try the other one as well

    Considering that people fear that the damage gap will eventually be so high that you'll have to keep your tank stance for enmity purpose, your second tank would not keep aggro.

    So, your question is more "Who contributes more ? A tank that stays alive in tank stance and keep aggro and does mediocre damage or a tank that stays alive but loses aggro to maximize its DPS ?"
