There are a few problems with that. One, Retaliate working off of parry instead of block would cripple sword and board. The whole reason we got Retaliate is because Vengeance is worthless.
Second, DK's becoming an evasion-based tank with Shadow Meld would be the nail in the coffin of us ever tanking on raids. Evasion tanks have never worked. At some point in a fight, we would get hit multiple times in a row and at that point, we're screwed. Mitigation smoothes out the damage so the healers don't have to alternate between doing nothing and healing frantically. It's why Monk tanks never work high end. They're fine for a while, and then the odds catch up with them and they're dead. Trust me, we do not want to be the evasion tank.
