That's great for leveling, but what do you do when you hit level cap, and the changes start to be gear related.

Because as you move past tiers tanks and dps gear for different things. You've got your tanks grabbing every piece of survivability gear and your DPS grabbing gear to up their numbers. That's the whole point of vengeance. Because DPSers numbers grow thanks to their ever increasing main stats, while Tanks numbers only grow because their Str/Agi slowly increases as they get higher iLVL gear. That's why my tank's dps has only about doubled from 346 blues (from about 6k to 12k) while my DPS numbers have quadrupled or quintupled (from 8-10k to 40k).

So you can't just make it a flat percentage rate, because if you do, either tanks will start a tier outpacing dps, or they'll end a tier far behind.
