Yes. I get the best optimization for tanks is going all in on VIT and becoming a giant pool of masochism from cleaves, busters and devours. However, slowly going from ilv130 accesories to pentamelded ilv110 accesories, I felt that the pros far outweighted the cons. for a loss in around 400-500 HP.
I think you should look at his link, he has his tank full slaying. I agree with him in the sense that the amount of hp with echo is adequate but it's a straight trade off while crafted gives like 75% of both, it is clearly the best of both worlds and an overpowered middle ground. The fact that SE continues to weigh ilevel in terms of tiers of gear and not stat weights is backwards and feeds misinformation to players, the result being players terribly geared but high ilevel.
