Tank Mitigation vs Tank DPS.

[Nedkel]

Yeah, no.
You're not looking at how the stats on gear actually works, as has been pointed out for pages.
You're wrong, and doubling down on being wrong.
Tenacitys best use is one overmeld if the +20 will let you hit a .1% breakpoint. Otherwise it's not as valuable.
You arent getting healed differently taking barely noticable less damage. Eoslene is still going to hug you the same way she always does. You're getting the same heal after a tankbuster you always are. You're getting adlo or bene at the same time you otherwise would be, because that's when they come off CD. Your regen / faerielove ticks are still ticking the same as they ever would be.
All you're doing is less damage.
14 is not other MMO's. Bulking your tank stats up in a game where people dont/cant vary heal potency does next to nothing, and does LESS than ot did when we didnt have permanent tank mitigation.
I want tenacity to be a viable option. It just isnt, because 14 doesnt work that way.

This works that way if you assume that your healer is not playing properly and overheals you all the time, which is petty thing to say, because it does not happen often.
Your healer is a variable here, he is able to adjust and make it working as intended.
On the other hand you are relying your damage on a RNG factor, and thinking an average increase of 1%-2% will have any significant impact on the number is quite optimistic.

This value is in a bracket of measurement error, because there are three random variables when you do your damage, you could get completely different outcomes when playing with DH. This bonus has to proc at least 1 time per 6 damage ticks in order to deliver as much bonus damage as tenacity does, and 1 time per 5 in order to be slightly ahead.
The amount you get from melds is 24% rate if you put all 24 DH melds in 460-470 ilvl equipment.
You shouldnt take random procs for granted, you may as well do less damage than tenacity tank since his damage is less rng than yours.
