A valid point, but I've seen debate (not sure if it's outdated or not) that STR can be just as useful for boosting abilities that heal you based on the damage you do, like Bloodbath.

I'm no authority, though, my MAR is only 21 and I have a ways to go. I'm trying to read up as much as I can, but unfortunately most tanking write ups I can find focus on level 50 with abilities I'm still a ways off from.

Any tips for up and coming tanks would be great. I'm still not sure if I want to take MAR or GLD to 50, or both. My GLD is currently at 17, which I know needs to get higher for some cross class abilities.
