Think about the live environment and be honest - who would you rather have holding your flag in the flag room right now? A resto druid or say Arms warrior at 5 stacks or a fully tank spec'd gemmed Tank at 8 stacks.
It's a rhetorical question if you honestly think on current live servers the healer or dps with 5 would last longer, you haven't RBG'd much. And that's the scenario 30% more damage to the tank class.
It will simply remove the "waiting for 5 stacks" from alot of FC play. Plus burst damage it getting nerfed quite abit, lending even more credence to Prot/tank specs not going anywhere.
Thankfully I run my own RBG so I don't have to worry but I am sorry for all the other tank classes that will be blackballed from RBGs by bad information/understanding.
