So right now paladin is the only tank class that is slightly different from the other tanks. Only due to Sheltron, Cover and Intervene which are spenders for Oath Gauge. I get that if as tanks we don't deal a decent amount of damage then out in the field soloing mobs will take longer but hey that's the trade off for being able to survive longer. Now i'm not saying nerf tank damage into the ground, but remove the burst phase from tanks and add flavor gauge spenders.
I literally go into detail about how to do that on the very first page with 2 post on the forum thread that you happen to be talking about.
