I haven't look super much into the stats and gearing that much, but somehow i almost feel like HP is the way to go.
HP > shield > absorb > defense. ATM I'm 78490 HP stimed and buffed, 45% shield, 35% absorb (needs to be a bit higher), 25% deference, with a 52% dmg reduction. All this in almost full 216 rating (bought with) with some 208 pieces.
The reason i believe that HP is king is; during 3.0 and also 4.0 I've played with healers that say that HP tanks are really easy to play with, as you're not so prone to spike dmg, and therefore don't need as much attention from healers in tight situations. And yes i know "if you're a good group and everyone knows what to do that's not going to happen", but we all know how MMO's are.
But what do you guys think? while we wait for dulfy to get their guide up.
