Shield Spec PvP, DPS or Tank gear?

Dinged 50 today and been gathering tank gear for PvPing up until now. I think I've been wrong and will start gathering DPS gear even for PvP Tank spec. This is normal with other classes like Guardian and Shadow but haven't been much discussed for Vanguard / Powertech.

 

Do you wear DPS gear in PVP if you're Tank spec? Only DPS some pieces? Wich Tank pieces do you avoid and replace with DPS etc.

 

I try to avoid Shield Rating and Absorbation, and exchange those for DPS slots instead. Works pretty well for me.

I'm running full Supercommando and haven't had any problems with damage. Having all that survivability makes me put out damage long after I would have died in dps gear. Plus its my job to protect other people with guard and I need the defensive stats on the gear to help out with it.

If you want to burst like a dps class then you should probably run a dps spec and gear for it.
