Parry...

[ZDamned]

Would like to point out that i do not necessarily disagree with you. However, in this case, the solution is not to itemize for dps over parry with tome and allagan gear, but to use crafted gear to get BOTH the parry and way more secondary stats, at the expense of a bit of vitality.

the (Edit!) 3 reasons I don' like to do that are because:
1) I'm poor. =(
2) I don't like to sacrifice ilevel, or Vitality (And Defense) for the sake of DPS.
Edit! 3) After looking into it, the crafted gear is WAY lower end, and not nearly competitive with i110 raid gear.

As it stands now, Vitality is literally the "defacto" Tanking stat, and we can see great returns from Armor, in that we take greatly reduced damage from attacks compared to Dragoons, Monks and casters. So I wouldn't rule out consistent mitigation or Primary stats for the sake of secondary stats.

-EDIT-
There are not even any new Accessories to craft, and form what I know, Strength and Vitality are both capped already on each crafted piece, so in essence, your sacrificing a LOT of primary stats for the sake of secondary stats.
Crafted legs vs i110 legs: You drop 10 Strength, and 13 Vitality on just this one piece of gear for the sake of an i90 secondary stat cap. (Not worth it)
