If you truly believe that max HP does not help you as a tank, then I don't even know what to say. These tanks don't realize how much DPS a healer can do. Just how much of a DPS increase do you think your STR accessories are netting you (I'm not against STR built tanks, but at least know what you're talking about)? When you have a bigger HP pool, it gives healers a much bigger window to pop cleric stance and get their dots and maybe a few nukes in before having to turn off cleric stance to heal you. If you think that your STR accessories are out damaging what a healer's DPS can do, you are wrong. By wearing STR accessories and having all of your stat points in STR, you are not making things die faster, you are making them die slower because you are lowering your group's overall DPS by not giving the healer any room to DPS.

Again, I'm not against STR builds, but it seems the general tank community just isn't being very smart about the issue at all.
