Do 2H tanks still count as DPS when queueing for SC?

[Sulorie]

When I spec my IB into vengeance with the channel + greataxe mastery and go for str + crit with renown points, not using focused offense, I'm put in a dps slot. So it's indeed based on spec (and maybe gear)

Was hoping that only FO memelords would be worthy, but it seems, as written in the patchnotes, that’s not the case. Str + crit rr build sound just like something that would be considered for dps, add to that some kind of offensive gear, and it looks even more likely. The good side is that the mode (6v6 solo) is so random you prolly wont even notice it. The bad side is the salt will start flowing once people go serious about MMR and possible exclusive rewards (will they?). Or maybe if you like drama it’s on the good side too

With the right build you go 2h as one of 2 tanks. That's all you need.
When you play 6vs6 ranked, you can go more offensive as tank, because the group setup doesn't matter for matchmaking.

All tanks count as tanks in the SC queuer for like a week now. DPS healers are still based on masteries and divine fury.

Where is that written? Nonthing in patch notes.

How does this fit together with 2-2-2 matching and 3 tanks in same solo ranked sc?

They do not. This was ninja changed about a week ago. This only affects Solo Ranked Scenarios.
