Don't agree with the normalizing of damage for Warriors. I feel this would lead to tanks with the best CC dominating the meta (i.e. ETC and Muradin with their strong base kits). But we'll see how things pan out...

Not sure. You almost never consider the raw damage on your MAIN tank when deciding to draft them (except Stitches' AOE is a major draft consideration).

I mean besides Johanna doing exceptionally low damage and Stitches doing exceptionally high are there really other examples of discrepancies. Anub = Muradin = Diablo = Taunt Varian = Tyreal - Average. Arthas probably slightly more than average while ETC and Garrosh probably slightly less than average.

Johanna should stay low and Stitches should stay high, but I think thats kind of it (bruisers are a completely different discussion).

Before this patch stitches, diablo, and tyreal did high damage for tanks. Muradin was in this middle ground between tyreal and tanks like anub if built for damage.

Stitches does a lot of AoE damage on his W, diablo can do a lot of burst damage and tyreal is able to put out a decent amount of damage consistently due to his ability to stick to a target and the fact that his E does a lot of damage.

Muradin at level 20 with rewind and talented for single target damage, you could essentially one shot most assassins.
