tldr: Warrior AA tree, intelligence line, 'Relentless Assault': Turn relentless assault from a flat fervor self-gain into a fervor + cbo group buff, that gives stun immunity. This would mirror flawless morale and provide tank symmetry between the tank classes to have similar niche desirability.
As to why:
There's a few changes that would be pretty impactful in tank desirability between them while still being pretty minimal time changes. Right now, crusaders' buffs are an order of magnitude stronger as group buffs than warriors which is mostly fine, but skews group compositions too much. Like SK's giving a bit over a hundred fervor overcap between fearless morale/unholy strength/battle leadership. This is fine, even if warriors don't have a comparison there, but the fear immunity is something that has skewed group compositions for a while in heroic content, with early in the last couple expansions people only running crusaders because they can't get fear runes and so on.
So my proposal would be a tweak of AAs to provide a symmetrical version of these buffs, that would also be situational. Crusaders get permanent, always up group fear immunity, so why not warriors getting permanent, always up stun immunity, and brawlers getting stifle immunity, by placing mods on AAs with no real value that bring some buffs up statistically to be comparable.
