Savage defense is completly worth it. going from 30% dodge to 70% means you take 42% less hits (Getting hit 30% of the time instead of 70% of the time = 60% less damage taken: (30/70)*100 = 42%) I don't know how you can downplay that just "because i can get hit 2-3 times in a row" Savage defense in sige pretty much has a 100% uptime too because of taunt swaps, since you dont use it when youre not tanking... and you have tons of leftover rage for tooth&claw procs and frenzied regen at your gear level. So, unless you want to sit on your rage waiting for that hit to come in.. you might want to use savage defense. If you have things like agi proc trinkets, when they proc your chance to dodge is so high... you will take minimal hits.
If you're not using savage defense, you're doing it really, really wrong, it's not a matter of opinion, it's a fact. Would you rather spend 60 rage to avoid 2 hits out of 3 on average, and have rage leftover for tons of heal, or not use it and take 1 hit out of 3? Note that frenzied does a lot of overhealing, and thus rage can be wasted.. and it only works for one hit.
