The truth is the difference in other melds (full Ten/Det on Drk) compared to full Crit/DH is actually only a few percent. So generally it will feel fine on anything below Savage. In fact it is fine, duty finder pugs are unreliable and if the 5% mitigation from max Ten saves you occasionally then go for it.

It's when you min/max that you really notice the difference. At endgame you aren't taxing the healers any more than usual even with full dps melds, but that few percent damage can push an enrage timer you would have missed. I remember I simply couldn't beat the SSS for O12s on a max tenacity 380 Drk, but I could with max crit/dh.
