    -X% damage taken and +X% max hp/healing received are two sides of the same coin and are both forms of percentage based mitigation.

    Thrill of Battle+Convalescence is effectively a -16.6% damage cooldown and Rampart is effectively a +25% MaxHP/healing received cooldown.

    They could have made Inner Beast increase MaxHP/healing received by +25% and Vengeance a +42.8% MaxHP/healing received cooldown to the same end effect.

    Just giving the healing boost to Defiance itself would have saved WAR from lot of crap in 2.0.
    It would have prevented the conflict about using Wrath stacks, but the mitigation from the Inner Beast, Vengeance, and Storm's Path changes was needed also.

    Yes, they are....yet, for the most part, all tanks are using the first side. WAR has only one CD working with its max HP...and Convalescence is not even a MRD skill...

    I'm not sure WAR really needed all of them. Especially it they really wanted PLD to be defined by its mitigation.

    I don't think these mitigation tools were needed, and that's actually part of my problem with Warrior currently. They have so many damage mitigation tools now that they just feel like a Paladin that does more damage. They could easily distinguish Warrior from the other tanks by giving them survivability through +X% healing received as someone said above and then converting their damage to healing. They would also need a larger health pool to compensate for the lack of mitigation.
