Again we're not talking about the worst case scenario not the most likely case. The block capped tank's wrost case scenario is strickly better than nonblock capped tank's worst case senario.

Everyone is arguing incredibly explicit details about how much damage you take in x situation.
Or they keep excluding options for the sake of their argument like swing timers or spell damage.
Best in slot is misleading because really it should be best in slot for x fight or whatnot. Avoidance is great for your average boss but if you're in a situation where you're taking spell damage then stam would be superior since physical mitigation has no effect on it.
As far as I can tell ratanna you are discounting block cap based on the % of damage the average hit is in comparison to your BV, and that you see it as negligible. Well this wont be true in all situations, and really you have no more clue what the next level of content will be like than anyone else.
Gear for what you do. Also you lose credibility when you cite progression/gear as a source really. It doesn't make your points any more valid, and turns a potential for intelligent discussion into an epeening poo flinging contest.
