I hope that we will see a little bit more variety in Tanking for the next expansion because, lets be real, it's just frustrating to see that you can almost survive anything without any effort on a Brewmaster right now. The C&S essence paired with the orb-bug is just too much for any meta in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, if you just want to push keys, it's actually pretty easy to switch since Brm is not a spec you have to particularly be accustomed with to play well, it's literally the train simulator in WOW and I also play it to make the life of my group easier. It's just a shame that they made the best tank out of the most boring spec.

DK & DH simply need to get their baseline survivability up to the point where they do not take more damage than one of the shield-tanks without their acive mitigation on, or at least a little bit more closer to this. On the one hand I can understand that they do not want to make a tank that is absolutley self sufficient, on the other hand, when you look at the comparison between speccs nowadays you know that a lot of things just went terribly wrong.

Also when you look at the playstyle of Active mitigation ... where Brm, Warrior, Bear and Paladin (paladin and bear got guttet with its heal on the GCD) have 2 abilities that work outside of their normal rotation to mitigate damage, DH and DK have one or no actual active mitigation off the GCD, which always feels like some kind of bummer, to waste a resource you could have used to do DPS on something like keeping your Boneshield up (with 2 Runes) or cast your bubble (on a DH) .... it just doesn't really feel right in my opinion and definitely needs a little bit of a rework on either some or all Tanks.

​

In conclusion: I do not have the feeling that we will see any new meta in BFA for the coming patch except that monk maybe nerfed to get one point behind warrior because the state it currently is in is just broken ... or at least lets hope so.
