All except for a single tank in Turn 8 or the Main Tank for Turn 9. My experiences in Turn 8 indicate that more HP = survival and the tank can die even if they pop every cooldown at once whenever the big damage is going out(the source is an add which will be dead before the cooldowns expire, so it isn't a rotation issue). I'm also hearing some scary numbers from Turn 9, like the boss's answer to Death Sentence dealing 11k damage if completely unmitigated. I haven't entered 9 yet, however, so I don't have the experience of "well, this'll kill the tank" that I have in Turn 8.

i70 accessories are debated as to whether they're superior to i110 Fending accessories right now. Added STR and DEX increase parry chance and the damage prevented, but it's a good hit to max health. i90 accessories, however, would most likely be definitively superior to i110 if Tanks can acquire accessories with both STR and DEX like the last tier.

HP Pool really only truly matters in the Second Coil right now. For nearly anything else, I can go in as a PLD with all pure STR accessories and survive just fine. However, when the hits are really just that big, Vit will be king.
