We most likely won't see heavy tank changes again until raid testing has been going on.

For me, that's not an excuse good enough. Guardian is...  . . . not doing good at all.
It needs help. Now.

How is it you expect changes on the beta to immediately impact Guardian druids? You've got almost 2 months before DF goes live, and there will be a slew of hotfixes between 10/25 and 11/28 once pre-patch makes the core class and talent changes widely available.

Well now they got nerfed, they are already bottom of the list of tanks.
"It will be fixed in .X"-mentality has never ever been healthy for the game or certain classes.
