I consider the AE avoidance one of the better tanking talents in the tree, and its a flat out lifesaver as a rogue without evasion/clos. On Leotheras I usually just stand central in the blender to pick him up as the WW ends (the wars grab it off me since my snap aggro is stronger.) and I've done entire WW's without taking a hit. It isn't dodgeing since I don't see "DODGE" come up on my SCT either, just flat avoidance. Can't count how many shadow-nova's I've resisted on prince even though that's kinda small-time now. It is one of the things that makes me feel a little less worried about tanking those fearing/stunning mobs. I can't break fears like a warrior, but I have a decent enough chance to resist them and that helps balance it a lot.
I'd take this talent even if it didn't have the crit modifier. If you have it and the meta and the fear/stun talent, then you have 30% chance to resist AE fear, and what, 35% chance to resist AE stun? That feels about right from my experience although I haven't parsed it.
Oh, fellow elf scum, do you notice fear ward poofing even if you resist a fear? I think you keep it until you didn't resist but now I'm not so sure.
