Nappreap gives i160 gear, its tuned for people with i148/i150 gear actually less then that as it doesn't expect that you have a full set of Library gear or quest gear. I170 gear is overkill if Dps can't "tank" it probably because of aggro concerns.
I can tank it with 6 str accessories in DPS stance already, which only says to me an overgeared dps will probably be able to tank it so long as they were able to hold aggro.

The new dungeons aren't hard or at least they aren't hard for very long. Ilvl 145 requirements when you could probably do the content in i130. If you're i160-i170 you're over gearing by 15-25 levels lol.
If you specify situations like that, then technically anything is possible. So it's not really helpful for discussion. I still do not believe a melee DPS could tank the new dungeons even overgeared though. The new mobs in HW hit a lot harder and have a lot more HP than their 2.x counterparts. A WAR in DPS stance is still worlds more tanky than a melee DPS.
