It's a fairly small gain, but one that adds up when you have 1500-2000 DET.
This raises the next question; why should tanks sacrifice that 5-11% damage reduction that also increases DPS by 5-11%(Tenacity) for a flat 7-12% DPS increase(Determination)? Me personally; I would go for that stat that gives me more DPS and mitigation over the stat that is just raw damage.
