Compared to DPS who should be doing 800+ with the top-notch ones doing 1k+, it comes to about an increase of 2~3% of total raid dps.

It's not something worth throwing away your VIT for. If you wanna do it, go full penta-meld.

You're speaking about the weakest of the 3 tanks while in tank stance. That's not a good example. Do this with a DRK or a WAR and you'll see a much bigger difference. Plus that penta melded PLD example you took was pretty low. I just did a little test on dummy myself but I'm not gonna say anything about this here because SE with parsers can sometimes go crazy.

It's totally worth throwing away your VIT for. I can reverse the thing : It's not worth throwing 100+ DPS for a useless amount of VIT, which will not help you to get the clear at all.
