Are my mitigation numbers off ?

If you consider Shield Oath and Grit, you have to consider Defiance, too. And since they mostly give you the same eHP, it's much easier, and not very relevant, to ignore them.

Defiance doesn't reduce damage, only increases health and healing on self. So, if we're strictly considering the mitigation of active mitigation abilities, adding Defiance into the mix does NOT affect WAR's percentages.

Does it affect eHP? Yes, but the effects of Defiance really only affect WAR's passive mitigation (constant increase in healing received, increased parry based on Wrath Stacks, constant increase of health -- while Defiance is active). It's also worth noting that a WAR who is constantly in Defiance is "doing it wrong".

Yes, you're right, a WAR (or a DRK) shouldn't focus all on mitigation, and so is DRK. The problem is that, if they chose to, they could outdo PLD.
