OP... I understand that there are a multitude of tank builds using all different classes and races...My Hybrid destro/destro Ice Warden DPS/Tank(20k health) can handle almost all vet content...even hard mode.. (except for DLC's and of course trials...never tried though)...and more power to you for diversifying your game play... I am pretty comfortable in any situation with all 15 of my toons from vet trials to PVP...not elite but I can hold my own...that being said...
Using Defile on a Boss is useless...no getting around it...bow has no utility on a tank...none whatsoever...
