You read my mind to see where I was going with this. I've got a work in progress examining just how effective Awareness actually is, because a lot of people seem to think it's not all that great (where preliminary results suggest 15% total mitigation against a 30% Crit rate - not sure what actual numbers are, but that doesn't seem to unreasonable to me). I'll be crunching numbers job to job this afternoon, but it looks like it might be one of the better CDs out there--especially (ironically, perhaps) for WAR.
