I mean don't get me wrong, coming from games such as EverQuest where the Shadow Knight is the half-Warrior-half-Necromancer hybrid with the lifesteals and DoTs, give me a total retheming and re-implementation of all four tanks, and I'd go for Dark Knight as the "re-healing" tank, too.

Warrior instead would constantly stack shields on themselves, to further promote this "I ignore damage as long as I'm fighting"-idea.

But that'd both involve a near 100% ripping out of all existing abilities and mechanism, the tanks would just be 4 new classes using the existing names.
