I get too much tank anxiety to have one as my main lol so I doubt I'll change from dps.

So far the existing tanks seem more interesting and those aren't enough to make me main tank. I guess we'll see.
I main paladin currently. I probably won't change mains unless I hate PLD in ShB and Gunbreaker is great, but it could happen in theory.
If red mage couldn't get me to drop paladin though SE would really have to drop the ball to get me to leave it for GUN.
I'm one of those people that don't really have an official main. I try to keep everything leveled and geared then play either what fits my mood or in the case of tanks which ever one I'm working on mount achievement with at the time. RDM is currently my go to "lazy dps" job simply because I can play it fairly well with just 1 hand using my keyboard allowing me to play another game at the same time, draw, or read the next volume of make-out tactics... >.>
Since I’m a partial tank main. Not really.
I switched mains from dps to tank in from HW to SB because 2 new dps were added in SB and dps queues were already bad enough for me in HW...
I'm going to continue to tank going into ShB, but if a new tank (and healer) addition starts to bloat those queue times maybe I'll dust off the old dragoon and black mage and main that through the "endgame" content cycle of ShB.

I'm sure there will be an initial skewing of the regular queue times per roll, but honestly I doubt in the long term it will be very different. I wouldn't swap mains based on queue times unless ShB causes a shift that lasts past the first couple months. If 5.1 comes around and somehow dps queues are shorter than tank ones then sure, but I doubt Gunbreaker will affect the balance much more than Dark Knight.
No, but with those pitiful animations, if GUN ends up the dominant tank, I might swap to only ever DPSing or healing.
It will depend if the job is fun to play, and what other jobs they are adding to the game. I don't see myself being a main tank unless Gunbreaker really feels like a super fun job to play.
