I wonder about that too--I have a WP/DB tank, and skipping the Fitness pool was the obvious choice to me. When it was made inherent, it was a nice bonus, though.
Of course, I've seen WP builds with QR, Stamina *and* Physical Perfection, so I guess some players have a "can't get enough recovery" mindset.
my wp/db has this... but it's really only because i didn't have any extra slots with the new inherents, to really bother wiht new powers in the build.
i ended up taking it as an extra bit of protection from sappers; which in a year now has been the only cause of death for my wp/db tanker other then random superpower attacks getting lucky (did a reichsman 4 months ago and he did his pbaoe, it missed the whole team except for my tanker and took her down in 1 hit... apparently 3k hps doesn't go as far as it used to. that pissed me off.)
as to the question... db is nice, not the best damage you'll get but if you bump your acc and to hits and roll a few combos it's got enough extra effects to stand out. as someone who's played a lot of other tanker builds, i've found myself appreciate DB more and more as time has passed. it's really not too bad; what's really nice is the number of cone/pbaoe it can rip off.
