Turning DRK into a tank was a huge mistake.

I don't know, I still like having VIT gear other than STR while tanking, I've been on the healers side and I can say that it's a relief when I don't have to babysit the tank the whole dungeon, you can focus better and have more room to fix team mistakes, otherwise you are like *Heal, heal, heal, heal, OMG tank almost died... HEAL, HEAL, HEAL! darn, DPS didn't move away from AoE in time... MEGA HEAL!* I find healing more stressing than tanking. :P

I can see the point of using STR gear if you know your treammates and the fight really well, but I use the Duty Finder most of the time, so I guess that's why I prefer to have more room for mistakes.

For my part, I absolutely hate strength tanks. I find them a pain in the backside to heal, and refuse to play as one since it's putting unnecessary strain on the healers.

The only time I consider it even remotely acceptable is when you're so overgeared for the content anyway that you could conceivably go in crafting accessories and still be considered godlike.

Co-sign. These hot dogs are a plague to real tanks who actually put DEFENSE ahead of their parser numbers. I often compare them to these run-and-gun NBA teams that leak like sieves on defense.
