Are there times when you tank in grit/swordoath/etc?

Sure. There are.

But if youre doing it every boss fight, all the time, rationalizing "This is easier on healers," than its not so much that youre considering other players as much as youre just being lazy. If youre talkinga bout trash mobs and using grit? Yeah, thats expected. Maybe clarity on my part was needed. You run grit on trash pulls if your big pulling and what not. Im more talking about Boss fights.

Also, if we want better DPS, its time for them to learn they have to aggro dump. Staying in tank stance is just promoting the idea to DPS/Heals they dont need to learn to aggro dump and manage their aggro. It's a good time for everyone to start learning that this isnt about segmented roles. DPS and Heals have just as much to do with threat management as the tanks, much like tanks having to be concerned with DPS and dmg mitigation. If youre just playing it as "Im tank, only thing I do is get punched in the face and nothing more", youre limiting your engagement with the game.
Depends on the boss too.

Had a warrior stay in DPS stance on Mist Dragon, and lemme tell you, I wish I could reach through the screen and click his Defiance button, seriously.

I have enough problems with that stupid dragon, I don't need a tank taking 20% more damage because he's in DPS stance.
