Quote:As a segue, it appears at some point avoidance becomes more important than effective health, judging by the gearing of Mt. Hyjal tanks. I haven't had the opportunity to ask one when & why, or done any research on the encounters, so I couldn't say what changes but at least for Gruul's Lair up through SSC/TK there seems to have been an effective health tank gearing that has lead to success.

I'm going to venture a guess there's a max likely hit or safe hp value out there, if you want to call it that. Once you know that number, you know where avoidance > stam.
To clarify: A stam number where a tank is safe from being killed before a heal can land, with the currently known mobs.
