Yeah, but it sucks for all tanks, so what is your point? It hurts Warriors and Paladins the least of all the tanks (because they can still block), so in some ways it is a relative tanking buff for Warriors. I mean that in the sense that when people are choosing which tank to bring the relative value of Warriors vs DKs and Druids just went up. It isn't like people are going to stop bringing tanks now that they take more damage due to lower avoidance.

Warriors, Paladins, and Death Knights are all getting a buff to parry rating that will help offset some of their avoidance loss. Druids can't parry so they lose out the most of any tank. Druids also get a great deal of their dodge from agility which is also getting nerfed. In other words this change makes their relative value vs the other tanks go down.
