No, I do not agree with that at all. One of the reasons (obviously there are other very important reasons, please don't point them out, I already know them, thanks) why reducing incoming DPS for a Protection Warrior (or any other tank/playeer) is so important is that it reduces the amount of HPS needed to keep you alive, thereby increasing raid efficiency (either by reducing DPS by such an amount that one of your healers can be reassigned, or just by reducing the amount of HPS your Healers have to put out to keep you alive). Below is a quick illustration of the problem with Itzlegend's theory, theory, theory.

A reduction of 10 HPS from 98% DR --> 99% DR is indeed the same as a reduction of 10 HPS from 99% DR --> 100% DR. You are reducing the amount of HPS needed to keep you alive in both scenarios by 10. As cool as it is that a healer might be seeing a 50% reduction in the DPS you'll be taking, if it takes a reduction of 11 HPS to safely reassign the Healer, and the 50% reduction is only 10 HPS, whether or not it is from 49% DR --> 50% DR, or 98% DR --> 99% DR, you still won't be able to reassign the healer. Looking at the 50.1% DR versus the 99.1% DR it would take to reassign the healer, there is a serious increase in the amount of Armor you would need to gain in order to reassign the healer from 99% DR --> 99.1% DR than there would be from 50% DR --> 50.1% DR.

Regardless, as Blunted pointed out, most of this is irrelevant anyways.

I was not referring to you on our website, but rather to those who were posting in my thread on these boards. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
