Thanks MBTL90 for the breakdown; good to know.

Also thanks to the rest of you for your input.

It sounds like the numbers in question don't match the increase in difficulty when it comes to the healing portion of warrior mitigation. I presume this will be addressed in 2.1 with the changes. At the least if I grind for gear on my PLD or WAR, they feed themselves which means I'll be gearing both and then can choose, depending on the situation. (Bar the relic stuff, talking mostly about Darklight armor.)
