I've noticed that hes stopped posting here regularly, I guess we are nerfed enough for him now.
After 8 months I just came back and was very disappointed in my group dependability, I'm 35 and could not even solo a TS giant, lvl 25 ^^^. Right before the first round of combat changes I was soloing them at 30. My gear and CAs are up to par all Feyiron, and app4 or above. A mob 10 levels below me...
Around a month back, I was wandering around in EL (at 55)and happened to see a ranger guard duo taking the named badger on. Guard was 35 and ranger 37.....Natually guard lost aggro and ranger died, so I stepped in to tank until he got back. Within the first 10 seconds that the ranger had gotten back, he got aggro back as well. Quite a shock since I had laid quite a bit of aggro on him (this could be because i was using taunts only and not attacking, but still a shock). However, I now am a proud owner of a 21 monk and soon to be 20 bruiser with masters/legendaries that I soloed off names 
. I just couldn't fathom it. And this isn't a beg for DPS, I chose to be a guardian for the LACK of dps when they game first came out. I chose guardian for tanking ability.
And apparently, our defining role was just too good and the rest of the tanks decided to complain about it until they got it as well. Since we are a pure tank with only one real skill, if you give that skill to the rest of the tanks.....it pretty much defeats our purpose.
