Here let me fix your comment for you. "Like how WAR is a dead tank"
Right now WAR is the least played tank and really only bring holmgang to the table. Im not a fan of Nascent flash as an OT move becasue the healing is cut by 50% that you would be healing for your MT that is getting slapped, you might heal... 1 auto attack and some change with it. The one good fight WAR is in right now is Leviathan. Holmgang 1st/3rd TB, likely share 4th. Since Leviathan auto's both tanks Nascent becomes good sustain if used well to help healers focus on mechanics/dps. Its not earthshattering but its enough to warrent WAR in that fight...
All other fights, just don't bring WAR. The downtime in 1 makes it feels worse than the other tanks as they all can hit multiple targets in 1 and in 2... I haven't noticed many WARs yet able to break 7k (might just be me though from experience) while on PLD I can hit almost 8k with only 450 gear and one DMG down.

Now onto tenacity... I would say tenacity should only be considered if you plan on doing Ultimate progression. Any tiny bit of mitigation may impact the difference between a wipe and a close call, but that's Ultimate. Savage... just bring DET if you can't meld DH for some reason. (Isn't BiS for all the tanks going to be crit once we hit 470?)
