I have seen some healers pull some crazy numbers so I do believe that being a full defensive tank does not fall to far behind a aggressive dps tank. Which is why I mentioned that the stances could be fixed a bit cause I do agree they are not completely balanced but to say it is a poor play style is only looking at the tank itself. In regards to stance dancing when it comes to WAR a lot of our burst damage comes from IR so switching to Deliverance, popping a defensive and IR to dish out huge damage then going back into defiance so you can get caught up in health to go back to deliverance when you are ready again is 100% more viable than just staying in defiance the entire time.
The whole conception of if a tank stay on defensive stance allow healers to push more dps is wrong in all terms, you are free to check any fflogs and see the top healers have tanks with zero or near zero tank stance uptime, healers heals are to powerful as tanks mitigation tools and if both use they tools properly both tank and healer are able to push high dps, the DPS tank meta don't come at the cost of anything at contrary the turtle strat.
