tanks will catch up in terms of effectiveness

Just an idle thought. Maybe block-capping isn't such an overall problem.

Pallys are going to block cap now/soon. After which pallies won't scale at all well. The only other place pallies have to throw stat points is either against diminishing returns (dodge & parry) or stam (bosses aren't supposed to 1/2-shot tanks, stam shouldn't be a big deal).euwowgold Given that pallies are going to hit a gearing wall, the other tanks will catch up in terms of effectiveness, presumably not too far afterwards.

Warriors won't block cap till later, so perhaps it will be late enough in the expansion that they won't have enough time for them being block-capped AND get enough spare stat points to provide an unacceptable advantage over the other tanks.

Lots of "ifs" and "maybes" but it was just a thought.
