By no stretch of the imagination do I think that HW or SB threat management was the pinnacle of perfection. I remember times when things were stupid where I would have threat issues as a DRK in HW, even with grit and gear and etc. It wasnt common, but there were a few occassions for it. Usually when paired with Savage raiders who go ham. But the issues then was more to do with numbers than with mechanics themselves. Modifying numbers would resolve some of the issues in casual play.

But that system was actually a system. What we have now is..well nothing. We dont have anything. Pressing 1 button to tank isnt a system. In a 4 man dungeon, there is 0 reason to not have tank stance on. In a normal 8 man trial or raid, you can leave tank stance on and just spam shirk on CD and be fine 99% of the time. Its only in savage where things can get squiffy.
