STR into PLD 30? 15 STR/ 15 VIT?

Making a fight shorter just makes it shorter, not easier.

You're so hell bent on being right and justifying your hp threshold you completely missed his point. I have never done T13 so I don't claim to have experience there but every fight that is shorter is easier.

Let's do a classic example of Garuda HM. I spammed this Trial to death yesterday and there was a point that DPS needed to be. If dps wasn't up to par then the group almost wiped. 20-25% Garuda spawns sisters... Everyone ignores sister right? But if DPS doesn't burn Garuda down before they teleport then Garuda wipes everyone but tanks.

So Morale to the story - faster dps allows you to skip mechanics, ignore mechanics... thus making the fight easier...

Garuda HM

There is no difference between 3rd and 4th flatten, the boss does not get buffed, its the same, thus the difficulty is the same.
4 akh morns is possible with both tanks going full vit.
Im not sure wheres the easier part.
T12 tho, sure, 3 bennus makes the 3rd phase a snooze-fest, otherwise exactly the same.

So you're saying it wouldn't make a difference to skip it. Doesn't matter about how much damage it does.
