You're right about the defensive part, even tho the situation isn't as dire because TBN is really valuable.
PLD rotation is literally the same as HW + get full mana than Requiescat + HS spam. PLD is and always shall be the "easiest" tank to play.
Meanwhile DRK actually has a proper gauge to manage and you're punished more for screw ups than a PLD is. I will agree that some parts of the job are easier than in HW but I really, really would not agree that DRK is "braindead" because honestly it has a higher skill ceiling than in HW. In HW it was litterally use all your oGCD attacks at the right time and use Delirium if you didn't have enough MP for DA SA, atleast now its a bit more involved.

Stance dancing because if a mistake is made and the other tank dies for example or if you need to turn on grit for an add, its extremely punishing unless you're prepared for it as Grit is on the GCD and costs a load of MP if you're not prepared for it.
