We don't think the situation is cool where even mainstream but progress-oriented guilds have to keep 4 different tanks waiting in the lobby so that they can have "the best" tank for every fight. "Hey guys, do you think you're going to get the spider down in the next hour or two or should I put on another DVD here? Hey, did that tanking shield drop while I wasn't there? Guys?"
I think almost no matter what we do that some tanks are going to have an easier time on some bosses. To some extent we're cool with that. Where it breaks down is when the guild with the paladin MT and death knight OT hits boss #3 in Ulduar and they are at such a huge disadvantage that their only hope is through repeated wiping and just blind luck. The situation even breaks down when the Protadin can dance through a heroic with no CC while the warrior has to stop and mark everything and hope nobody Frost Bolts the sapped target.
As far as providing numbers feedback, it's a question of degree. I'll try and explain by example.
Very useful feedback:
"Hey, we did some math here and based on talents, gear and what we know about gems and enchants, it looks like paladins can't be uncrittable by Naxx. Is this intended?"
Less useful feedback:
"Warrior mitigation has been better than paladin mitigation for the last 4 patches. Why doesn't Blizzard fix that? I'm starting to think they won't."
Not terribly useful feedback:
"Because paladins can't be uncrittable by Naxx, it's clear Blizzard has no design for the class and doesn't understand how paladins work. We'll never get to tank anything. Meanwhile, warriors have the most awesome ability that we are denied out of spite."
Ghostcrawler fills the coffee mug with gin:
"I've waited for 16 months for a blue response to my demand for an explanation of why paladins don't work the way I think they should. And yet on my 35-page dissertation on why this one quest in Eastern Plaguelands would be so easy for my class if you made all of the 28 changes I require, and which I bump every day for great justice, I finally got a blue poster who made a poor attempt at humor and it Greatly Offended me. Now I'm going to troll and reroll because if I'm miserable I want everyone else to be too."
