Unlike some other MMOs out there, this game requires raiders to switch between 8M and 24M when progressing through different tiers of raiding.

This means that when 24M raiding hits in the next patch, all FCs will be looking to fire 4 of their tanks in favor of more DPS, and then fire 4 DPS in favor of 4 more tanks when they go back to 8M raiding.

This is not going to work out well. A lot of tanks will get turned off by this and quit tanking altogether, if you think DF que times are bad now, wait till this happens.

The only way tanks will be able to retain this spot in raiding would be if they level and gear another DPS class for when its time to enter 24M raids. So now the job that requires the most pressure in a group to execute properly, also requires the person to level a second class and keep its gear up to date. This also means, you end up getting less practice as a tank in raids.
