What is the General Consensus?

I also don't know the numbers. Once I heard that all of the three tanks lose something like ~35% of their DPS if they stay the entire fight in Tank Stance. But it doesn't matter to our discussion because there is no need to stay in tank stance the entire fight. We were talking about situations in which a tank may want to go to defensive stance to use some extra mitigation and avoid a wipe. In this scenario the stance dance that WAR has is better than the DRK's which is better than PLD's.

I think 25% is more accurate. And I agree. However, if they wanted to fix something on warrior I would want to see deliverance restore their full HP on activation, and apply healing up to all healing not just casts, and also allow for inner beast to be used out of tank stance.

I think TBN suffers because by comparison sheltron is amazing for both increasing dps and also mitigating a ton of damage if you are getting hit for more than something like 80% of your max HP. In general I think this is a design issue that blocking is so powerful for every type of damage, while the type specific mitigation are mitigating less and only some attacks.
