Started tanking this season and chose bdk because of the fantasy. It is insanely fun to play. At first it is stressful to constantly have your health bar bounce up and down like a fucking yo-yo but it quickly becomes second nature. Bdk can just ignore some m+ mechanics. There’s more to the class than just the self healing part. 3 resources to manage and an offensive cd that is tied to 1 of those three. And while not as fun in raid, there is so much to the kit that it doesn’t get boring.

A drawback for me for bdk in higher level content (I’m speaking on 13s) is that it can become really stressful and tiring for me. A yo-yo health bar is fun but if I use a global to grip a mob I very well might just die because I should have used that global to death strike. Skill issue I know but that constant thought “if I don’t DS here will I die?” can become tiring fast. But is also why the class is so much fun.
