The thing is you "could" use any tank to do the one tank strat with hop but pallies do it better! It's not impossible but look here
Why would I tank Tortos when our pallie can tank and do the following HEALING and DMG?

It's not that it's impossible to use another tank for the 1 tank strat it's just a pallie makes it redic easy as they pump out so much HPS and DPS at the same time and the other tanks will generally only pump out more dps due to veng but nothing close to the HPS.
Same on council :

Comming from a prot war POV I don't want to see them nerfed but I would rather have the same oportunity as them to do something similar. One main issue for wars is if you pop S.barrier then you will absorb a decent chunk of dmg but if you pop that as your go to shield then you negate heavy repercusions glyph and loose out on 50% dmg boost to SS. As SS is our #1 dmg ability we sacraphise allot of dmg for that absorb and one way I could see so soften that blow is turn heavyrepercusions into a 5 second buff each time you cast S.bar or S.block where SS will do 50% more dmg so that the glyph is not wasted due to choosing absorb > block. Still dose not bring us in line HPS wise but just an idea instead of jumping in the NERF PALLIES camp!
