Seriously, wait until the Combat changes come in till you make a desicion. That said doesnt look promising for shadowknights, we look to be hit with the same curse that happened in eq1.

A DPS tank has NO role in the end game, and people will always take a paladin or guardian over a DPS tank, because they dont get a tank to inflict damage. They get assasins, Warlocks to do that.

I don't think it'll ever be our DPS that gives us a place in raids, it'll be our other aggro skills if they can get cleaned up a bit... not being 50 yet, I don't know whether they are good or bad. It's how well we can keep the mob on us that will make the difference.
