Pure Stamina even to the point of falling below the CTC cap?

Hey there guys,

I was recently reading some stuff on MMO champion about gearing up for heroic raids in dragon soul. This tank who is 8/8 heroic DS says that stacking pure stamina is the way to go for heroic dragon soul given that mechanics in fights are mostly unblockable. I am curious if any of you have found this to be true?

He mentioned that Soulshifter Vortex and Resolve of the Undying are good trinkets to use when I thought previously given the nature of block capping weren't important.

Thanks in advance.

Both of those trinkets are still pretty terrible. Soulshifter might get used simply because there is no second stamina option that's much better, but in practice there's no need. There's a better second trinket for every fight than Soulshifter.

And if the reason for stacking stamina is that most damage isn't blockable (or dodge/parry-able), which is a valid reasoning, then it's tough to justify Resolve as anything but vendor trash.
