    It seems to me that this whole argument isn't really about which is "better", because if a tank in full VIT or STR can hold hate off of their intended target(s) without placing undue stress on the healer, it's pointless. Both sides have shown that they can do their job, so they both obviously work. The issue should be about which is faster, because if DF runs have shown me anything it's that people are impatient as hell and they want to be done with stuff quickly. VIT potentially helps if you have a tank that's doing mass pulls and overestimating their capabilities, but it's moot if your healer isn't up to the task or if the tank bites off more than they can chew. (Which I see a lot)

    So rather than argue it as "All that VIT is useless because it does nothing for you", try it from the perspective of "The extra STR helps because it gets you through things faster if you're not pulling half the zone like a moron."
