What do you want your GF to do?

Do you want your guardian fighter to..
1. DPS
2. Buff
Let me start off by saying I hate buffing my party members. I am a selfish person. :P
When I first rolled a GF, I was under the impression that they could do damage (Envy and Rokuthy's guides). However, the community hated that, so I re-specced to be a buff bot. That gameplay is just too boring (and pointless).

It doesn't seem to be an option, yet at the least i would simply like my GF to work properly - i.e. fix the 55+ bugs.
Luckily, with enemies hitting harder and harder, GF as tanks are becoming more necessary.
Conclusion - same as before, gotta find a new game, this one's heading for the scrapheap
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.

That is sort of the direction I thought the origonal poll was taking. 'What would make the GF more useful as a tank. Yeah I can tank with my HR too. I learned aggro management on my GF but once HR had the DPS and survivabilty to hold aggro and take that role it was viable to do so. So what can GF add to make it more usefull as a tank than something else? ITF is already a prety awesome buff. Dt and KC are also pretty good buffs. I think that what would be more useful for a tank at this state in the game would be contributing more to killing the mobs. I don't think it should be competitive with a pure DPS class because it can do things they can't. I'm pretty sure that with some more DPS and the same bufff things would even out though.
+marks, tide of iron and a lot of dmg reduction if party needs.
Tank stance - sword and shield. Tanky and buff abilities.
Dps stance - double swords. Dps and debuff abilities.
This, and only this i want from GF.
That actually sounds really neat. But that would require a lot of work on cryptics part but still a great idea if it could be implemented.
Healer should heal.
Buffer should buff.
Tank should tank.
Now everything is mixed up.
Honestly I don't care. I wish to be needed in party. Make tank usefull, no matter of role in party.

This game is not wow. Why do people think every mmo has the same class structure....
As for if people choose a class or race or whatever and expect to be something else...well it is D&D right? People can't know Cryptic's model in MMO creation and probably don't come with an obtained knowledge of what is what. Maybe they don't even spend too much time gaming and only want to relax a little in their spare time. And additionally, many could be actual roleplayers prior to the games creation; and in roleplaying, one could potentially create under the proper circumstances and setting, a drow that fights for good causes, a paladin that turns to be a tyrant and evil worshiper, a fighter that really wants to and becomes a mage or anything else their imagination can create. That's why D&D is popular in the first place.
Maybe Cryptic should add detailed descriptions when you select classes or something, like "Gameplay Warning: if you choose this class, when in group play like dungeons and/or skirmish fights, or should you choose to PVP, people will expect you to do this and this, so choose wisely according to your desired play-style". That might end the possible misunderstandings. Or I don't know.
This is exactly it. Personally I feel like GF's are still trying to be rammed into a trinity role in a non-trinity game.
I agree.
The buff Protectors fare even worse and are usually sitting ducks if they lose their support. Often times they only have Bull Charge or Griffon's to protect themselves, so I just swarm them. As you said, it can be a long fight, but I am never in danger of losing.
