Gonna start off by pointing out that not one of the people who have tested the stat have done a proper test. They have either been 2 data points, or tested over a small range. Nobodies going to know the real value until someone does an incremental test from near base to near cap over large sample sizes. That being said, the fact that tenacity affects outgoing healing instead of incoming is ludicrous, and offers virtually no value as a bonus.

It is actually valuable when you realize that the end benefit to self-heals is (mostly) exponential not linear.

If an attack does 1000 base to you and you have a self-heal that heals a base of 500 based on damage dealt, the self heal mitigates 50% of the damage.

If you increase damage dealt and self-healing each by 5% and decrease damage taken by 5%, the attack would deal 950 (95% of 1000) and the self heal would recover ~551.25 (105% of 105% of 500). This mitigates 58% of the damage. A 16% increase in mitigation.

It is not really visible but it is a valuable increase.
