I thought about the Salv bonus mainly for Hodir. After looking at the parse from the hodir fight, it blew my mind to see that Mel spiked to 20+k dps. I would have figured that would put his threat pretty high.
Wasn't even close to me, but I do have the luxury of having a very good set of gear to chose from. For other tanks it might be more of an issue. I had one pull where JB, Glaur & Felonius were all above 7k dps and I stayed ahead of them. On the kill, we had to have JB vanish late in the fight but I didn't receive any external buffs that fight and I still held off of JB & Mel during bloodlust. For other tanks, it is possible it might be needed but I really doubt it. Tac's tanking set isn't up to the level of our main tanks (obviously) and on the fights where I've looked he's been maintaing 7k tps, that means Mel would have had to break 9100 dps sustained to pull (e.g.) if he wasn't Vigilance'd. If he was, the number would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10.1k dps sustained.

For perspective on differences, under Hodir conditions, (assuming I can snag a Moonbeam) and I really knuckled down on threat, I could allow up to about 12k dps.

Threat is not the issue.
