The way %mitigation works is that it gets less effective the more you stack them.
using Rampart will reduce damage by 20%
using Shadow Wall will reduce damage by 30%
using both Rampart and Shadow wall will reduce damage by 44%

Shields on the other hand do not have this disadvantage (As long as they don't overwrite each other).
The best damage reduction is: shield + %mitigation. Which DRK can do with TBN + any %mitigation.

The downside is that TBN comes at a cost (3000 MP). If it doesn't' break, it's a DPS loss for DRK.
If DRK cannot get TBN to break, they will stop using it for said mechanic == DRK has the least %mitigation compared to other tanks after EW updates.

Other tanks can use long CD %mitigation alongside the short CD mitigation which also has added %mitigation after EW.

Migration-wise, this makes DRK the best tank for situations where TBN breaks, but the worst tank if their TBN doesn't break. Really wish they remove the cost on TBN.

Yup I agree with TBN part. Don't know how people get a 35% damage absorb for TBN and oblation, both are different type of mitigation. And we need the shield to break in time so we unlikely to pop TBN with other mitigations together unless the boss damage is pretty high.
