That's only true if it's low level to you and therefore you're being synced down. This wasn't a low level run for him, though. He was running it on-level. (He mentioned getting Maim part way through, which meant he hit 18 during the run, so started it at 16 or 17. It's a level 16-18 dungeon.) Once you outlevel it by several levels and will be syncing down anyway, that's when your gear doesn't matter much any more. But particularly for an on-level tank trying to hold more aggro than his often over-leveled and over-geared teammates, gear is very important (weapon especially).

(In this case though, it sounds like he had good gear, BiS stuff for the level.)
