More two cents - to keep things in perspective, T6 was really... not very demanding on gear level. You could do Gurtogg with really non-optimized gear and you'd pull through as long as people took bloodboils correctly. As it is, gemming/enchanting for threat was amazing for farm raids, especially as mentioned you can swap between high threat tanking and dps with more or less the same gear.
Sunwell, on the other hand, looks to actually push gear requirements, and so far there doesn't seem to really be any offtanking role. Hyjal/BT had infernals, doomguards, the poor rogue on council, Akama (heh, don't hit me). Sunwell first two seems to demand an equal weightage on all the tanks. That's a major shift in paradigm, other than Gurtogg which was still anyway more of managing debuffs and getting tank swaps done correctly and healing the raid/fel rage rather coping with tank damage.
