What is the General Consensus?

[Nedkel]

The fact you are talking about doing a fight in tank stance already means you're not tanking correctly. There is literally no point in arguing what tank does more in tank stance since you should not be using it other than on pull for MT.

We discuss a tank stance dps potential of both tanks, not the dps potential out of it.
The discussion is, does warrior really delivers everything his kit could give to us or is he limited by the stance mechanics and he either could be tanky and heal himself doing way less dmg or doing damage only, because sadly enough warrior in deliverance loses his decent healing ability and mitigation, but why would you deal like 40% more damage for that? And this makes him worse than people try to make him look overloaded and so much better than anything else, well i cant say it i tried to play him and he feel just squishy.
Its obvious warrior is DPS level of dmg in deliverance lol.

Do you really not get mored DPS = less healing required? The faster you kill the boss the less dmg received. Also you have no idea what you're talking about because warrior is the only tank to switch stance OGCD not to mention the shortest cds vengeance and hg. either way you argue warrior has the most self healing in defiance. So in terms of tank stance dps potential yes you can solo fight way better than the other two(slashing, path healing, inner beast equilibrium, etc.) A dark doesn't have slashing. there goes its dps advantage. blood spiller and inner beast both ignore dmg penalty. If you haven't tanked through an entire tier of savage you really can't say much. Even in dungeons, faster you kill mobs less healing needed. ever since the rework 4.0 it has been trash. You only play dark if you wanna have "fun" now.

you realice how ridculous is you post? bloodspiller get a damage penalty bcs loose the 20% damage buff off-grit, its 475 potency on grit to compensate the damage penalty is actually sufering for being in the stance.

and second, you cant argue DRK dealt more dps that WAR in tank stance more when WAR its not desing to stay in the same stance all the time specially defiance, WAR enjoy have both stance costless and ogcd for a reason and that one is to switch during the combat easily to take what we need, in a hypothetical case a WAR have to tank in defiance it will use they tank stance advantages to switch and use they gauge on fell cleaves and switch back to defiance when its done, dont lower WAR potential just for comvenience.
