I feel that Reprisal is a bit wasted here, as it's better for raid damage like Ukehi, but your approach does work, and one tank can handle all of those reprisals on their own.

If you're doing it in STR gear at 36k HP, TBN is a 7.2k shield. You need a minimum of 28% additional mitigation to survive the tankbuster. That's requires SW at the absolute minimum, and it's pretty tight at that. I can see the rationale for stacking Rampart and SW to get to 44% mitigation, if you end up having to take more than one Stormsplitter (with just one, you can LD instead, and use Rampart and SW to soften incoming autos).

I suspect that you're both correct, but Syz is almost certainly talking about a STR scenario, and you're probably talking about a VIT one.
