My 2 cents as a filthy casual, I just wanna point out that if you try to do this before your gear supports it you're going to have a bad time. It might be easy to get said gear right now, but we do have a new expansion coming up where suddenly we might not have excess mitigation for a while. We might have new or returning players coming in deciding what class to play and all they hear is "DPS, DPS, DPS!" even for the tank roles. They need to know the basics and actually possess the excess mitigation before making that trade is a wise decision.
