From Moorgard:

Guardians and Paladins get the most defensive-oriented abilities, both for themselves and their groupmates. As a result, they will have the lowest damage output. At the other end of the scale are Bruisers and Monks, with Berserkers and Shadowknights in the middle

So the DPS whiners won, we're now being ranked higher than the offensive crusaders and warriors, which would mean of course by SoE logic, we're 2nd worse tank only slightly ahead of Bruisers. WTG!

I believe that is partially or fully intended NOW... just looking at the number of buffs I dont have with my monk, and the number I DO have with my berserker... it seems to fit the description just not "working as intended" via the DPS in some cases... But the balance of higher defensive stuff and lower dps is countered by the higher dps taking stuff down a bit faster... overall (in theory) it should end up the same...
