Sanciety of Battle was not added after 5.0, it was already there. And Blood DK was hardly THE tank. Blood DKs just made the most noise. That does not make the the best. In reality, they were quite the opposite. Blood DKs was not by any means stronger than the other tanks last tier, since so many fights favored a block tank which made warriors and paladins very strong.
T11 and T12 block tanks were the way to go. Only in T13 did DKs start to pop up.
All classes have a high skill cap aswell. Anyone disputing that is just ignorant.
And yes, DKs raid utlity is AWESOME! Totally a lot better than the other tanks!
/done argueing with person that cannot be reasoned with. Provide one reason why DKs raid utility is better than ANY other tank.
There is one fight this tier with pure AE, and that is tortos. Go check Tortos top logs. Come back here after that.
(Spoiler: 10N and 25N Prot pala on top. 10H and 25H, prot warrior on top followed by paladin)
Really not gonna argue more about this. Since it is like argueing with a brick wall. Show me stats of BRMs topping all other tank classes on AE and I will be happy.
For further analyse of AE damage output. Check the 10th reply in this thread.

Geez. Exaggerate more. Go and check that other "Strongest Tank" thread. Paladins had more votes than all other tanks combined. So you are saying that over 50% of the player base is protection paladins?... It is fairly obvious that the larger part of the community agrees that paladin tanks are stronger than other tanks. Not just paladins.
And no, I did not claim that paladins have a huge skill cap and other tanks are faceroll. Though there is a clear difference. (Again can be supported by logs). Just go look up how the tank damage changes on certain fights. Take a fight that is a fairly good measuring stock. (a.k.a. not to many abusable gimmicks etc), and go through how the tank damage changes during the percentiles. You will notice the pattern.
Anyway. I am out of this thread. Impossible to have a civil argument here. These threads are always fruitless. Since everybodies tank class is the best!
