You don't want to be the red gemmed 13k HP tank on kael/hydross/etc.

If your healers are whining either replace them or get more avoidance. If they're whining about lack of avoidance on say: al'ar or kael - they're terrible healers. If they're whining on najentus or Teron, you should consider starting your avoidance shift. Collect both sets for now.

Frankly I've heard of tanks even killing to eredar twins with stamina gear, but most are red'ed up by brut.
