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.
I am expecting something more like STR=DET =~0.2 VIT

Yoshi has clearly said that tanks will do less damage in 3.2 than they do now (that is VIT 3.2 < STR 3.15). However, due to the ilvl increases, tanks will still get more powerful.
