Considering every 8-man or 24-man raid requires multiple tanks, yet most of these fights have absolutely no mechanics which necessitate an Off Tank - I am perfectly fine with tanks receiving a bonus to DPS strength. In a solo-tank fight that requires two tanks, there's literally nothing else for the OT to do, so I'd much rather them be assisting in DPS than being dead weight.
WARs get some very nice DPS numbers, and I imagine at later levels we'll be able to reach "shitty dps" status as my raid leader affectionately calls my WAR. But a tank which does 800-1000 DPS in future content will be far more welcome addition to a party than having two tanks whose combined DPS barely scratches 800 DPS. I mean... be jealous of an 11k crit Fell Cleave all you want... but in the end it's only helping your party succeed? You should be happy your WAR has the brains to use his class optimally.
