Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

I'm saying I've healed and tanked these dungeons, even under geared(since you don't have the dungeon drops when starting), and never have I seen that kind of incoming damage. About the only time I've ever seen a tank take that much damage that fast in aery is when they pull multiple groups, and even then I'm not sure I've seen a tank go down in 4 seconds.

Vit doesn't add mitigation. Even in your example how are you going to keep them alive? You don't 100% heal a take with every cast so they'll survive one more GCD before dying. I mean if he survives with less than 2k hp, then you heal for 1kish, he dies in the next gcd. Accessories don't have defense, so literally the only difference in max hp.

Again I tanked aery in ilvl 130, I didn't take anywhere near that kind of damage.

His OGC may not have been used. But he is right. More health means you can take more hits before you go splat. Less health means your healer has to babysit you.

From a healer standpoints would rather have a reliable competent tank than someone I have to sit there and spam heals on hoping the DPS don't stand in an aoe cause the tank is losing health faster than than I can heal them.

From a tank stand point I personally take offense to a healer having to sit there and spam their large heals on me as then they are not dpsing making the fight go faster. It makes me feel like I'm failing as a tank.
