No. it simply sucks.

But until recently it wasnt...

I have no idea where you got that impression. I play all the tanks in the game, and IB (vanq gear) is incredibly tough.
Use resist liniment and everything should be fine.

on a serious note: what spec you run?

Porw is running full def sov, BiS equipment. Oathstone, erthshatter build. Correct me if I'm wrong.

IB feels very tanky for me and I'm running not full vanq.

Correct (88rr)
That's not only my opinion but of several others ibs (80rr+).
Ive got 10000+hp, 1050T, 63 block as madatory and still think that something wrong.
Someone told me that after rework there r lots of single target dps but earlier i was fighting groups of six and can get out of them - now it is much more difficult.

depend if single target dps put healdebuffs on you and concentrate burst fire.

The main reason why most tanks feel less tanky than before (live / early RoR) is because there are alot more mechanics that were added to ignore / reduce defences, alot more CCs (since it was decided to give every tank the same CC mechanics) and no possibilty to stack stats. Generally speaking the Time to Kill is ridiculously low these days, unless you play in a BiS premade.

A good decision would be to reconsider the numerous tools which were given to too many classes. Since it's the most powerful CC in game, KDs should have remained conditional (to a block/parry/attack from the side or back), Channeling abilities shouldn't be so easy to interrupt (thanks to very borderline little add-ons), super punt should have stayed the sole property of 1 class on each side... And so on.

Also you shouldnt be always wondering if a skill/tactic which is part of your class is actually useful because of the non Stat stacking policy on RoR. Stat stacking would be useful for lower geared groups to fill the stat gap through a proper group composition and use of buffs, while the BiS groups would not find much benefits to it (being already close the the stat caps).

Lastly, the WS > Ini change was very harmful to alot of tank classes, because the armor sets were not changed accordingly, with a lot of now useless WS still lying around. Some even ended up with useless sets (Warlord or Vale Walker for Chosen/SM for example).

Have you been speccing your RR into Hardy Concessions perhaps? Or do you usually have a crossguard on you/another tank Challenging the people hitting you?
