Where is the hybrid tax?

You haven’t made a single argument as to why a class with stronger defensives should also have stronger offense. You are just skirting around the point, as people generally do, because there is no basic logical reason that this would make sense. Nor any reason why stacking 20 paladins would somehow be better gameplay. It would be the same problem, only dumber. People are going to optimize when there are extra slots available after you fill the required number of raid buff, tank, and healing slots. In vanilla, since threat and healing throughput are no longer serious issues, that means stacking the highest risk/reward glass cannon class, which is fury warrior. If they nerfed warriors tomorrow people would stack rogues as they did in original vanilla, because rogues get a premium on damage for being melee with low armor with no heals or cleanses.
