Well, in The Burning Crusade, Blizzard tried to take a more Vanguard-style approach to tanking by bringing druids and paladins up to par with warriors.
Unfortunately it's all going to hell. Why? Because warriors have no utility outside tanking. If they're protection specced then their dps is going to be extremely poor. If they're dps spec then their tanking ability won't be as good as a druid in bear form, and there are now better dps classes out there (warrior dps has taken a big hit sadly, no more 1000dps).
As far as I am aware, Sigil want each tank to be pretty much identical in terms of pure tanking, but their secondary abilities and style of tanking will mean that they will all be in demand for different reasons. This is a great idea and shows that Blizzard really need to either revamp the tanking process completely, or put it back the way it was.
