Yup, Illum is bad and needs some changes for sure. Hopefully they make it better.

Even w/ full champion tanking gear, I've felt very squishy too and always thought that certain abilities like lightning didn't get mitigated - or at least weren't being mitigated as much as other attacks. It's highly disappointing and it's plainly obvious that the way to go in PVP is high crit+surge, because tanking just doesn't have enough survivability when compared to the extremely high dmg being pumped out by other players/specs. The opportunity cost of doing an extra 200k+ dmg per game as dmg spec is too high when the survivability as tank spec isn't there....and I'd still keep 30k protection stats via spamming taunts. Hopefully, they change this.

More servers are needed, and they need to give people a 5 minute window to re-connect or re-take their place in line when they are disco'd. They also should show what server pops look like at peak hours, so new players know to choose a different server.
