Gear Assistance

If we're ignoring Darklight gear, it's pretty much a HP vs DPS build for tanking. If you think Darklight is out of the question for a while, look into the Militia gear as it's a good Enmity/HP set until you start getting Darklight.

For Miser and Princess, you can gear for DPS. I would still wear an Enmity Belt, Earrings and Wrist.

For Coincounter, I'd gear for HP if you plan on eating 100 Tonz, or a mix of HP/DPS if you plan on avoiding it.

For Chimera, I'd gear HP and Enmity.

For Ifrit, you can do whatever really. HP isn't exactly needed.

For Garuda, I'm not entirely sure. I've never tanked it non-burn style, but I still think HP isn't too important for her either, so I'd say DPS/Enmity.

In the end, it comes down to how good of a tank you are, and how good your WHM is. You could easily do every boss in the game w/o a HP build. However, a lot of tanks will use a HP build just for that 'safety net' of a large HP pool. Inexperienced WHM's will cure slow or not keep regen up 100%, letting you dip below half HP often. Inexperienced tanks will not be able to avoid big hit moves. Just some things you should think about IMO.
