Mitigation on a single enemy is just very rarely useful in this game. Dungeons get mass pulled and bosses are typically no threat as long as your healer isn't asleep. A number of bosses can even be soloed by a tank without any other support.
In before they say they aren't talking about 4 man content, and thus dungeons, I would like to interject and point out to OP that for a large portion of the playerbase, their majority of time is spent in said 4 man content, leading to just a... less than useful skill for them. Possibly why the game is mostly balanced around savage raiding, and like a friend has said, if you aren't savage raiding, you aren't really playing the game.
