Why do tanks need Determination stat still when they have Tenacity?

[Snarky_Sunseeker]

...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)?

Why not both? I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive, so I meld Determination and Tenacity. Still, what works for me may not necessarily work for you or someone else, so go with what's optimal for your play style.

Generally speaking you have the stat budget to push two stats and dip into a third, or push one and mix two.

You won't get a better singular return than Crit in terms of damage potential though, other than Speed on pure GCD classes, but so far that's Black mage.
