Why not the median? 4%

You're looking at 8% reduction in damage, 8% increase in DPS, and 8% increase in healing recieved, along with 25% more hp than using STR accessories. If you're a DK, this increase in HP boosts the mitigation provided by TBN by 25% as well. This of course is assuming 2k in Tenacity. When looking at the gear it looks to be really easy to get there as most pieces have it.

If you use STR accessories you gain 15% dps but lose 25% of your HP. You get no additional mitigation, and do not receive any additional healing

I'll take the other bonuses for a 7% loss in DPS.

Sure, the median will work, I just didn't like the iea of the best possible case being spoken of as *the* way it is, people have a habit of taking such numbers and running with them. As it happens I agree that stacking tanking accessories with tenacity and where I can't meld Tenacity, Direct Hit, Critical Hit and Determination. The multi-faceted nature of what Tenacity offers outweighs simple STR stacking for me, though I wish that it's impact was a little more visible than it is right now. Since Determination is also meant to affect more than one thing, I would prefer to stack it after tenacity and then direct Hit and Critical Hit.

The accessories, at best, melded optimally, give ~400 tenacity, that's closer to 1-2% not 8%, where'd you get that maths from :P
