I had some concerns if there were enough party / raid wide AoEs to actually trigger this approach without yanking aggro. It's no fun for the gearing tank if they can't regain aggro no matter what and it's no fun for the DPS if they have to sit there doing nothing. Several seconds of waiting for initial aggro is understandable, but a bigger period of 10 - 20 seconds over and over in the course of a fight gets to be too much.

As for what the tanks want for a more engaging rotation, I still haven't been able to find a consensus quite yet what we would want. We could add another combo finisher like what Dark Knight's Delirium used to be. Hmm, but what else . . . It could also be a different 2nd combo move that can still lead to an existing combo finisher or 2. It would probably end up being something like a self buff that improves the next use of something like Sheltron. We used to have the Scourge and Fracture DoTs on Warrior and Dark Knight too. They might be candidates for 2nd combo moves. I just hope Fracture will actually be worth it this time if they do this.
Uuuuh, again, in SB that was not a thing. Dungeon tanks sat in tank stance with adds cause you needed to for the mitigation. For raid, again, SAM, heck all DPS had diversion which removed all hate created from them by like 80-90% for their entire opener, leading to the Tank being way ahead on hate (which they never used aggro combo). After 1 combo of opening up Tanks would turn off tank stance and be in DPS the rest of the fight. If they for some reason really needed hate, that was on the OT to voke shirk the MT and they would never have hate issues (unless DPS didn't use their diversion/hate drops which they are supposed to do).

What tanks need is just more to do for our rotations. Each job would need something different for each one cause right now... they are all almost the exact same tank with minor changes. Its kinda... bleeeeeeeeeeeeh.
