My question is why you don't choose to use allagan baxe, which has a higher main stats/wd?

Ha, you're totally right. For some reason, I looked at them and saw the same stats as the previous tier. Sort of a facepalm-worthy mistake, innit? Yeah, if you're prioritizing VIT over all else, then you'll want the Allagan axe. The feet also go back to Allagan, resulting in -31 parry and +4 VIT over the previous set. You'll have +18 ACC as well, which is meaningless when you're already at cap, but you maximized parry after VIT anyway.

The whole melded crafted accessories is now a moot point with the aggro changes. There is absolutely no need for STR now to hold aggro off of anything.

That was never really the point. Melded accessories offer you the highest mitigation, and also offer higher damage output and recovery from attack-based abilities (Bloodbath, Second Wind, Inner Beast) to boot. It would also let you progress more evenly since 3/5 BIS accessories are random drops and only accessible once you have a pretty high gear level. The enmity is there and all, but you never needed it at that gear level in the first place.
