Do you know that there are many people who are not tanks soloing a lot of these bosses when no one else is around?
Whatever build gets you through Maelstrom Arena is what you should be using for those fights - not what you use to tank 4-man instances.
While i have a proper build for my role i shouldn't be forced to respec or make an alt to be able to do any content.
I don't think anyone has suggested to the OP to respec. They simply suggested slotting different skills/equipment for the encounter. Every class has at least one skill line devoted to damage. Even just throwing Caltrops down ought to be enough for 3%.
Maybe the OP is just unlucky, I've yet to see an entire grind group at a World Boss. Most, if not all I've seen, have been at dolmens. The bosses just aren't reliable enough for them to farm as it only takes 1 DPS and 1 Healer to defeat them timely fashion.
In Bankori for example, there are three world bosses right next to eachother. This is the best way to farm the set and get skulls and xp. You just go from one to the next and by the time you get there the WB has spawned. usually 15+ people are in this group. and its the same people with a few new ones every dayThe-Pumpkin-King // Stamblade

In the meantime, the other night in The Rift, people were asking in zone chat for more to join the world bosses who are not so close together. Most zones I've been in during the holiday event I see 4-8 people on each world boss (PC NA.)
My two cents: A tank doesn't need to respec to get 3% damage, just grab a handful of skyshards and slot a cheap spammable damage skill in place of one of your buffs. Preferably at locations that don't already have 15 people on them. Boring but it gets the loot.
Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!
