The point that Mongo is making is that a character equipped with the best damage gear can still kill a character who is equipped with the best tanking gear in seconds.
The high end tanking gear will not add enough survivablity to compensate for the high end offense gear that is available.
BTW, if high end survival gear *did* allow a character to survive long enough in PvP to allow be useful, guess what, people might use it sometimes. It would at least create a choice between survival and offense. Right now most classes are better off with simply offense, and those classes that must rely on outlasting their opponents such as holy priests simply get nailed in end-game equipment setups.
