Huh, despite the fact that i've now grown to prefer the Lance for most things i've tried so far (though for some reason i still feel more comfortable with swordn'shield on Great Jaggi), i would put it much further down a tier list, though as you said that list was made for blocking, i would tier things based on a damage vs. agility ratio, and thus put Lance much further down.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
