Having a strong HP pool is consistent, and helpful, but Item Level typically denotes HP, not the secondary stats. The point of this thread os debating 2ndary stats, not primary.
However, I have been sacrificing HP lately on easier content in favor of DPS accessories with great results. I have successfully tanked Titan Ex with a Co-tanking warrior, both of us in 30 Strength Spec points, and i90 Strength accessories. we BOTH were able to increase our damage output by 35% and our group killed Titan before his full arena bombs exploded. Neither of us died. Fight was entirely do-able with -780 HP from a typical max.

Nobody parrys 25% of the time, and were not talking aobut getting rid of 25% parry, were talking about getting rid of 1.74% Parry. Please be realistic with the thread, and true to live numbers.
