I don't see how choice is removed. Honestly, you benefit more than you would have in the past since the buffs you would have cast anyways are now built into stance buffs you would cast anyways. The only difference is in their flavor. If it was once threat then its probably damage in offensive while threat in defensive. If it was once pure damage then it might be more threat oriented in the defensive stance but a tanks main goal is to build threat and take damage so it works in that case. Think of the threat more as damage and you are right in line with what you would have had previously. If something is messed up like the bruiser stance was then feel free to post it but otherwise you really get what you would have had either way.
