Plus, you'd be giving up a lot of HP for an EXTREMELY marginal DPS increase, if they even gave a DPS increase in the first place, which would be really silly to do.

If the split is even more biased towards VIT then STR, it would certainly be a DPS loss to use STR, doesn't matter what the secondaries are.
Thing is, we don`t know how the damage calculation is going to be, if VIT will be REALLY superior to STR, then yeah, but i have read on the forums that its probably going to probably be a 50/50 split, which, considering you just reminded me there is an even more irrelevant stat than parry, HP, will totally make sense to get rid of any VIT/parry accesory in trade of a STR/Det-crit-skill speed one.

Now if the split becomes 70/30 for VIT/STR, now thats a diferent matter.

And i still don`t know where this "forget about DPS" thing comes from, Tanks will still do DPS, the only thing changing will be the formula, any WAR running Deliverance and carrying bad DPS through duties today will keep doing it tomorrow. It might happen that they just get a bit more HP from it all, and not a relevant amount that is.
