No, I'm not a high end content person.
That's simply down to different tank busters hitting for different amounts of damage on top of damage being able to roll high or low within a certain range.

Tenacity rarely has much of an influence on your survival due to how much you'd have to stack to get any noticeable mitigation out of it. The question is basically, how often did you survive a mechanic with maybe 5% hp remaining? If your answer is very rarely or never then you might as well just stack a stat that gives you more damage.
