The only differences I have noticed are that my Granite is just a little bit softer, hasten has far too much downtime and the frequency of my attacks is so low that without a team I am practically useless.
One thing that has definitely NOT happened is a reduction in my ability to hold aggro. Like has been said previously, AoE toggles and AoE clicks are usually sufficient with the odd taunt or hurl boulder just to reigh in stragglers.
Though I hate to admit it, I think Tanks are needed even more now in a team than they ever have been. Every single team i have been in, I have been the last to fall in a wipeout. And that is after a good few minutes of aggro holding and herding away from the fallen.
The role of the Tank is diminished now, but not so much that we need despair.
