I agree with everyone, for now. The updated levels and skill changes seem to suggest what we all thought, bears are tanks and I'd have guessed that the upcoming content would push that further, just as the added instances have. I've seen enchantresses screaming "WTF!! I've just been one shotted!!" loads after yesterday's update and chickens going through health pots like they're sweets.
It's better for the game as chickens having massive dps and being able to tank was very frustrating and I was getting a bit sick of seeing so many in the game.
