I have a question regarding crit immunity vis a vis the Hydross encounter for Druid tanks.

My guild has just started venturing into SSC, and we use two Feral Druids and two Warriors (one arms, one fury). As preparations were made for this fight, we kitted one Warrior as NR tank with crafted gear (295+ NR) and the other as FrR tank with crafted gear (295+ FrR). Both are crit immune. The two Ferals have 150+ of both NR and FrR and are also crit immune (3/3 Survival of the Fittest + 2.6 crit redux via defense/resilience).

The problem we ran into on our first night is threat generation from the Warriors. As dps specs, they simply cannot generate the kind of threat needed to allow dps to really open up, as such the best attempt was ~49% when the raid wiped to enrage.

My question is, to be crit immune against Hydross himself, does Survival of the Fittest reduce crits from his attacks? We know they are melee attacks, but they do magic damage. If SotF does indeed provide crit reduction from Hydross' melee, then it is simply a matter of converting one Druid's NR to FrR (and vice versa for the other), and voila, we have a crit immune/max resist tank.

Can anyone please confirm/deny? Cheers.
