Suffice it to say, there has been a metric-fuck-ton of data collection done on the stats in Vanguard, and the old school mentality of tanking may not be as effective in this game.
Of course feel free to do as you please, you may well turn out to be correct. But a lot of us have arrived at the conclusion that other stats are more pronounced and may garner a greater benefit than having a couple hundred more HP, which in the end game doesn't even equate into a single strike from a tough group mob, much less a raid encounter.
Just some food for thought.

From the research I've done I've come to the exact opposite conclusion. HPs are king. Just like in any other game, probably always will be. For each extra point you put into constitution per level you gain 160 hps at cap. So compare 2 races. The halfling and the dwarf. If both races try to max con every level the dwarf will have 480 more hps. While this doesn't sound like a lot in beta lvl 40 warriors only had 5k hps. So that's a 10% difference. That's a huge difference.
If you've done any endgame raiding you'll know for a tank it's all about giving a margin of error for the healers. Especially when some healers have 4 second cast times on their heals. Those extra hps can give your healers 2 extra seconds to get their heals off saving you from dying.
Just out of curiosity, what benefit can you see for other stats? I haven't seen any. See my post above. I see no reason to put any points in any other stats whatsoever.
