With the latest changes in 1.3, I am completely fine with my Jugg Tank not having as much dps output. I'm a tank. I love tanking (pve and pvp). However, even with a good spec at 50 and full BM gear with a few WH pieces (all tank items), and 1200+ expertise, I am just a wet napkin in pvp now. Marauders/Sentinels continue to shred me so quickly that tanking is literally impossible and not fun. I can't soak damage, even with a healer, and I can't put out damage. This character is no longer a viable pvp tank.

I've logged and reviewed numerous encounters (non-ranked) with the same result (this wasn't a one time beating from one geared out Marauder/Sentinel).

I'd just as well turn in my tank gear and swap it for dps gear at this point. I'm not grinding another set. There should be an equipment exchange option for equal gear to switch roles. Put a timer on it if you like (1 week, 1 month, etc). I'm sure there are other folks out there who would like to swap roles and not have to re-grind the gear, especially when it is content updates that change the class/role so much.

By the way, since pvp on this character is so horrible now, I've been pushing an alt Sorc healer up in the 10-49 bracket. HOLY CRAP there are a ton of Marauders/Sentinels on the way now. On average, I see 3 or more of them per warzone on each side. I wonder what the FOTM is?!!!!

Tank + Healer combo are nearly impossible to drop unless you have 6 people pounding on them. I'm not sure what your issue is. I have a juggernaut tank spec as well but I don't go anywhere without my healer and it takes quite a bit to bring us down.

As for your sentinel/marauder complaint. I see nothing but operatives/snipers in pvp now. So does that mean they are the FOTM to? Of course a match later I get a team full of mercenaries. So that must mean they are the FOTM players? Wait no? Oh maybe its the fact that it's PRE 50 and people are just leveling alts and there are more players pre 50 pvping than at 50? Just a thought.
