The tank hit point bonus was always intended to apply to sources considered as base stats only.
When M16 went live, companions were setup in an incorrect way that was causing them to be considered player base stats. This also caused several other issues with how they were functioning in the game. As this was fixed, companions no longer counted as base stats and the tank hit point bonus no longer applied to their stats.
So you had a bug, fixed it, and didn't think to mention it in the patch notes.
This is pretty much what patch notes are for. Informing players of bug fixes.
You can see why the community is constantly disappointed in the communication from your team can't you?
The tooltip for Empowered says they won't be transferred.
I will look again, I may have missed that, as I only just equipped the empowered expecting to gain hp, and when I didn't I stopped with empowered runestones.
We do need those HP to transfer thought. There's no reason they shouldn't.
Well looking at the tooktip for tank on any of the classes, it says 'increases maximum hitpoints by 40'. It's say base stats only or anything. So the role of tank is being falsely advertised as 40% bonus hitpoints being applied everywhere. People have been sued for less.
