quick question: why are they in high slot and are they ever going to be moved to low?

Damage tanking is a staple of shield tankers (especially Matari) in EvE as they take up a low slot, this allows them to contend with the superior EHP of armor tankers, as it is now armor tankers have the whole shebang damage and tank in one package.

Edit: to clear confusion, this thread is about damage mods as a whole not just tanks or infantry individually , pardons for the confusion.

You've missed shield tankers have a speed advantage and regen advantage at the expense of EHP and damage. Armor has the EHP and damage advantage, at the expense of speed and regen. I don't see how this is imbalanced. The real issue is TTK, where the shield tanker cannot get out of the fire fast enough to recharge. Armor is just as bad, since they're less mobile. Same result, just trade bullets for strafing.

There's that speed argument again, not as impactful as you think and if you don't see any problem with a class with both a large tank and large dps, with or without EvE knowledge, I'm not sure what to say....

Also, I've seen Preston crush people with a speed heavy Dust side. And Eve side, 4.2km/s EWAR frigates is how you combat bigger harder hitting ships in low sec.
