I dropped mits a long time ago. You are pretty much dead if you get hit with flaming arrow (whatever that hunter thing is) or a burg cunning attack bleed (from stealth/behind). I have 6 crit/6 mastery. I blow stuff up, that's it. Run with healer or run away is basic strategy. Brands and store bought pots help some if you plan on escape, but even when I had 3 tac/phys mits slotted, I still died fairly quickly. Your choice, live a tad longer, slightly better chance at escape with diminished dps OR blow stuff up.
