Are there more tanks playing now?

Yes, but what you need to realize is that this HP budget is not for you to manage...but for your healer.

Surviving as a STR tank doesn't mean that you're a "good" tank, but that you have a good healer that can keep you alive with a lower safety net.

False.

It's for both to manage. The tank needs to know what they need to do to survive large incoming damage with a low health pool, and when to do it. The healer needs to be ready to heal them back up asap.

If the STR tank can't pop cooldowns correctly, the best healer in the world won't be able to save them if they get taken down before a heal can be thrown out, or if they get 1 shotted. Especially with the slight lag involved with instant heals.
