Not really. Any HP that isn't required to survive that fight is a wasted resource. Tanks should ideally be looking to get rid of as much VIT and Parry as possible in order to increase their DPS contribution to the raid. In most cases, using Sword Oath or not using Vengeance is a good choice as well. Any and all damage increase, whether it be from the DPS, the tanks or the healers, is the biggest contribution you can bring to your raid. The higher the raid DPS, the shorter the fight, and the shorter the fight, the less chance of somebody screwing up or my cat showing up to block my screen.
