Stacking more Tenacity on top of the crazy amount that you'll already have on your gear just isn't going to be as efficient from a DPS or mitigation standpoint.

A minimum skill speed/maximum tenacity gearset has over 1800 tenacity innately. I'd much rather meld direct hit on that than more tenacity.
If only SE decides to give DH to tanks and healers gear, we wouldn't need to fully meld DH.
