We have limited cooldowns that we can safely use compared to other classes.
I don't lack in producing threat, but the fights you need the cooldowns on, mainly thorim, hodir, mimiron and beyond have the dps producing a lot of threat which can make it difficult.. not only this but hosalv hurts us more the later we use it in the fight.
What are you referring to when you say less damage per hit, are you talking about damage compared to your total HP, because trust me, having that extra 2-3k hp at the expense of 2-3% avoidance just isn't worth it at all once you're past a certain point.
You are right, the 2 hit rule doesnt stand when you've used a cooldown.. however even with glyphed hosalv, you're taking reduced damage fro 22 seconds out of 2 minutes. The rest of the time you're taking full damage., which is roughly /6ths of the time.
EH is simply how many hits you can take before you die without healing.. so you don't even mention healing and EH together.. i dont know how i could put it clearer than i did before... whether you die by a 2k overkill or a 15k overkill you're still dead.. so you may as well reduce the chance of being chain hit.
Perhaps you're confusing eh optimisation with stam stacking...
