At least now DPS gets to see some of the work and effort that has already been going into making sure your tanks meet -all- the necessary requirements instead of just "being able to do ao bunch of damage, I guess"

That's not true. Pre tbc alot of raid bosses were heavily dependent on ridiculous dps. In 40 man naxx there was alot of bosses that would put stacks of debuffs on your tank to where the fight became impossible after a certain point. You have to switch tanks in and out to drop off debuff stacks. I remember grull in tbc being like that to.

One of my favorite bosses was the 2nd one in black wing lair. It was just a huge dps race. Also the abomination thing from naxx 40. I haven't done the new 10-25 man naxx so i am not sure if its just exactly the same or not.
