Honestly, I wish this sort of thing was even an option. We have four tanks, why can't we run the gamut from safest/lowest DPS to riskiest/highest DPS? GNB and DRK in the middle, WAR on top of the risky (berserker), PLD on the bottom of safe (plateboy.) It would require us to ignore the wailing of parsing nerds and the occasional odd "but meta!" type, but... is that even a bad thing? As long as it's not a *huge* difference in DPS, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Even ultimates don't require you to be pumping 90th percentile theoretical DPS to clear, and maybe trading some DPS for a class that brings an extra button or two to cover for mistakes would be worth it.

Problem is, failed mechanics still result in a damage down, so I don't know how applicable this would even be. Too bad we can't just go back to vuln snacks...
