My point was that by underestimating avoidance levels your calculations were actually biased in a druid's favour.

Although saying that, other than as a means to prove to your guild that druids can tank too, I am not sure of the usefulness of the actual stat generated anyway. The crucial question in tanking is can the tank survive the worst case scenario rather than how much damage is taken on average because an average hit will only kill a below average tank.

Personally, I complain when my OT isn't a druid, they are just far more useful than a 2nd prot warrior on the vast majority of fights.
