this is not always the case (coming from a tank who also plays a rogue):
in arena, a tank is only beneficial, as long as the party is still be able to kill bosses before they get enraged. if they are, there s not much to do for the tank anyway, as spread rogues can share one hit s better then a tank getting one or two hitted, because his feeble skills don t impress the boss...
bottom line: arena is no place for tanks
in hard elite s (tombs) even in a high dps party i highly appreciate a tank when playing on rogue. but the tradeoff is too high for similar reasons: even if the tank does his job very well, during the prolonged boss fights, the one hit s during the extra time cancel the benefits from having a tank in the party. that s why we (ravagerx, maarkus, skipleggday, just to name a few, please feel free to protest) call for working debuffs to make it a real option to have a real tank (not only a warrior) in the party.
