It was very easy to tell the good ones from the bad ones when the first pulls started.

    If you were a healer during that era you would prefer a bad VIT tank over a bad STR tank any day of the week.

    There was a huge [skill] difference between tanks that were raiding and actively trying to clear versus tanks that were not raiding, were not as good, but followed the meta and caused issues as a whole.

    As a healer doing that era, it was an ill-begotten nightmare.

    there was an added problem to Vit back in Gordias as well. Because Vit didn't impact AP at all, you actually experienced poor emnity generation growth as you geared up. So the vit tanks back in the day also tended to have Emnity issue in addition to DPS problems. So they were tankier(?) but they couldn't generate emnity for crap.
