Excess mitigation and enmity does absolutely nothing to the progression of a fight. A tank, in this game is more than a one dimensional meatwall and it's about damn well time you learned that, especially after how long ago that the meta has already been established.

You are a tank under a different and arguably better definition. Hold aggro, don't go one shot, do maximum DPS.

The fact of the matter is you hold too much value for '20% Mitigation and 50% more aggro" when both are completely unnecessary and neuter your own damage output, thus lowering OVERALL RAID DPS and *gasp* group survivability in the long term! There is no CHANCE to losing threat or dying if you understand the extent of your own toolset.

And I've asked my healer how he felt about healing me in large trash pack pulls without Grit. "It's faster why? Nothing is different." My anecdote against yours. Stop making bulldongo scenarios to support your own narrow minded view.
