"...in the beta raid tests, druids were easy to keep alive and the other tanks were dying in two hits. That wasn't the design we were going for, so we brought the druid down to the other tank levels" even though they have fewer ways to mitigate damage as other tanks do - i'm looking at you block and anti-magic bubbles. so, will bears now be carrying shields on their faces?
blizz wants to make all tanks more similar so they can make boss fights less dependent on what type of tanks my be facing them - alright, that sounds fine. but tanks aren't all the same, and a larger heath pool has been what's made bear tanks viable since they lack abilities the other three classes have. yes, si is now on a two-minute cd, but so is every other similar ability for other tanks. this 'buff' looks to me more like bringing abilities in line. i don't feel it counters the health nerf.
