That has already been calculated. And yes, it is apparently a damage nerf overall. Keep in mind that these calculations were done without having the new opener and rotation figured out, so the gap is probably less important than what was claimed.

But anyway, WAR already had quite a lead in terms of DPS output. This means that with the PLD's nerfs (and DRK's up? *cough*), all three tanks will now be granting roughly the same amount of DPS to the group. So, if anything, the DPS of all three tanks should be more balanced. I know people have a tendancy to grab their pitchforks when they see the word "nerf", but Tanks balance is also something important we shouldn't overlook.

... Well, I'm talking of tanks' balance, but WAR still remains the best tank in terms of mitigation and enmity generation. So yeah... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
