So I got into this painfully hurf durf argument with another ShC Prot Paladin who was all "hurrrr you don't need to be uncrushable to be a raid tank, all you need is 16k HP and the healers can make up the rest hurrrr" and I won't get into that argument any further. But he then dropped a bit of a bomba on me that I wasn't expecting: he told me that, regardless of how much +defense or avoidance you have, even after 102.4%, you always have a 1% chance to be critically hit and a 1% chance to be crushed.
And he said he totally heard it on Elitist Jerks.
This basically runs counter to not only all of the experiences I've had tanking Karazhan and heroics over nearly the past half-year, but it also defies my understanding of the way the hit table works. What I'm guessing is he got confused and heard about special cases like the Sunwell and Illidari Assassins and stuff like that. However, he was using this "it's still 1% on both" idea to argue "so who cares if I'm 5% crushable lol, my epic stamina gems will let the healers make up for the rest" and I would like to put this little bit of misinformation to bed right now before anyone else somehow gets the same idea.
Of course, if this is somehow true and I've missed it all this time I expect to be mocked mercilessly. Just somehow, though, I don't think this guy is right (and it's still a terrible argument for not being uncrushable, good luck tanking stuff like Teron Gorefiend while crushable.)
