Using that formula and those boss/tank weapon speeds (seems like a fair guess for the average fight to me), you're looking at ~8.6% increased damage done to the tank by the boss's autoattack (i.e., if the boss also hits the tank with special abilities, the total damage the tank takes over the fight will be increased by a smaller amount). Assuming an 11.2% cap, it would require 11.25 * 4 * 3.94 = 178 expertise rating to eliminate that extra damage. On fights where the boss's attack speed is significantly faster, the 8.6% would scale down proportionately, unless you're in an extreme circumstance (e.g., Prince phase 2) where the extra attacks can result in crushing blows.
If you're really looking for a "what is this stat worth in mitigation compared to dodge", for example, you could easily enough calculate off those formulas. I'm not going to because I still think that's a silly way to look at it because it's not a mitigation stat, it's a threat and insta-gib protection stat, and therefore only going to be useful on fights were those are an issue.
