Yeah I picked up the tanking trinket last night from NM robot. It would really be a much better trinket for an assasin or even PT tank with with their much higher shield chance, but we don't have one in our guild. As for how good it is, I think it is worth using over the matrix cube in combo with an activated +def trinket, but I doubt that it's significantly better. Hopefully they'll put in a trinket more useful to a jugg.

When it comes to stat weighs, this spreadsheet by LagunaD (http://sithwarrior.com/forums/Thread-Tan...et-online) does the math about stat weights. Basically what you'll find is that yes, unlike assasins/PTs we should get more def then shield/abs, but the exact ratio varies depending on your stat budget (with the numbers I've played with it seems to be something like 3:0.8:1.2 for def:shield:abs).

Of course being avoidance tanks our hp will jump around more then equivalent PT/assasins, but even in NM the only place where "spike" damage has been an issue for us has been jorg/sorno. And for those guys I'm pretty sure their worst attacks are tech and hence not susceptible to def or abs/shield in any case.
