They are missing that 27% damage/threat/aggro though. Which is huge. Very huge, especially since healing also scales off strength.It probably depends on what you mean by bad. A bad tank's going to be bad either way, but VIT makes things more comfortable for the healer when they're having to keep the tank alive through poor cooldown usage, eating AoEs, etc. But an average VIT tank and an average STR tank are a lot different. In my experience, a lot of tanks don't really use cooldowns aggressively on trash pulls (there's a sort of DPS mentality that you save them for the bosses, if I had to guess, which is sort of the opposite of what you should do as a tank in most dungeons), and STR tanking does tend to require fairly aggressive cooldown usage. VIT tanking doesn't really need to be that aggressive with them except for a few significant pulls from what I've seen, though. And that's where the difference is really.
