now, going 1 step further.... i highly doubt in any normal groupage mobs will live for all that long to make it very worthwhile. Do you smell DK being the preferred raid tanks though? if they take dmg well... thats not a bad option! after a while of fighting DK, the mob is so weak its not funny. Whats the limit of how much DC can influence any given mob? does any1 know? do bosses get influenced by it (if not, DK is useless in raids...) ?

That may be so but if Warriors do turn out to be better tanks than us, our DC wont buy us a tank slot simply because DC works no matter what, as long as we are fighting the mob. So if the warrior takes the damage better, and they can get our DC from us just being there, then we will be SOL.
What will kill me is that despite the fact that all the tanks will probably tank very well and pretty even... people's mentality will still lend them to the idea that Warriors are the supreme tank. It is so ingrained into everyones heads from EQ1 and WOW, and even EQ2 that Warrior = the only real tanks.... everything else is just pretending.
