I'm sure a STR to VIT swap will come with a few of it's own problems, but every major gear patch we get SE has had to give us band-aid patches to our enmity multipliers due to scaling disparity of stats when tanks have to chose VIT over STR, so I think this would be a good permanent solution to that problem. As for the HP disparity, they'll probably adjust the way it scales so the gap isn't as big on WAR and I honestly expect them to homogenize the damage between tanks somewhat where that gap isn't so huge either.
