It has some limited use in ultimates but for everything else you basically only take tenacity because there's nothing better available. The rate at which it increases your passive mitigation and flat % damage increase is so atrocious compared to the other substats that there is no point in investing heavily into it, it simply exists on gear that you would've used anyway for different reasons.
During the process of learning about tanks, and tanking a common theme was that you never slot tenacity, because it doesn't give much mid, and damage isn't comparable to something like dit,det,or crt. It is usually at the bottom of the recommended lists and I don't remember the last time I've seen it melded at all on the tank leader boards.

Imagine a tank specific stat that tanks actively avoid, I think that is not good game design.

On that note I would like to see more transparency into what each stat actually gives you, like actual formulas, or "stat intervals" if I understand that term right. I want them to trust us as players, and let us theory craft to our hearts content.
