Oh, for me, I dont play DRK because its boring now.
That alone is why I shelved my DRK.
Even if it were balanced, I still wouldnt choose it over my other options yet, unless I had to.

Same with tanks they all will have similar defensive cool dreams, aoe Argo abilities. The only thing I think that can separate these roles are aesthetics, at the end of the day they the rolls gonna be copy and paste of each other

IMO, by having 4 tanks, you can make them less homogenized.
We tend to look at;
DPS
Mitigation
Threat
Utility

You can essentially make 2 tanks sorta of "MT" specialists, and 2 tanks "OT" specialists, with the ability to fill the role of the other type for easier content. (Sort of how AST was meant to pick a stance, based on which other healer they were with, though it didnt quite work out.)

You "should" always see 1 of the 2 for MT, and 1 of the other 2 as OT for the savage content.
Of course this depends on how its implemented/balanced.
Right now we see homogenization due to only having 3 tanks.
