Yes, I'm seriously Tim. I have seen more tanks than I can remember, who were gemming and enchanting for standard "maximum stats," which basically means, all socket bonuses, and the "highest rank" enchant they could use.

These tanks, died on Heroic Gormak over and over and over; simply dropping dead spontaneously, when nobody in the raid was doing anything notably wrong.

Those tanks replace all their gems and enchants with pure stamina, gain an extra 3k health, drop around 1% avoidance, and they stop dying.

Also. One of those tanks? Do you know the name of one of those tanks I'm talking about?

I'll give you a hint. It starts with a "Kari" and ends with a "lyn"

I'm not just talking out my butt. The difference is mind blowing. It is the difference between night and day. Don't believe me? Try tanking with "balanced stats" one week, then pure stamina the next, and watch your survivability skyrocket.
