"Tanks" needed for dungeons?

Well playing with Sorrow’s Embrace for the last two days, I also learned something.
ANet’s promise of not requiring traditional roles to do dungeons did not translate over into reality.
Day one was us getting wiped over and over. And we were all playing the builds we have been using in PVE and Wv3 up to that point.
So in the end, we did not complete the dungeon.

Day two we all speced ourselves to play specific roles. My Engineer was the conditioner cleanser/healer. Our Guardian played a tank role and etc…

In the end, we fared much much better, and our survivability was higher. And we did complete the dungeon in story mode.

I don’t think it’s sad or an issue to have to make these minor changes to your trait build to accommodate a nightly run in a dungeon.

It gave us a chance to try out some new features for our characters, and also I learned my Engineer can take a beating as a healer. :-P

Where are these coming from?
I am level 70 and have done it all (PVP, WV3, PVE, completed zones..), but I have never been presented with the option to have a flaming sword skin or even shoulders.
All of which I have seen on other players.

Where do I get these most awesome items?!? ‘O_o’

I did this one last night. I had to aim the Trebuchet and then pull all the way back to launch.
It was like one hit and it went down.

That was an epic story quest. Was long and I felt exhausted afterwards. :-P
