question about gwf and tanking

was wondering, has anyone tested out the tanking ability of the gwf?
1-what powers/feats are bugged or partially bugged
2-is aggro skewed across the board? or just for dc and gf?
1-was looking at the feats and power combinations, and the potential DR is huge. i was looking at xilinear's thread about DR calculation
http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?218211-Defense-Deflection-and-Damage-reduction-(GF)
and i plugged in my current values from my gwf. it matched up. then i switched in some gear with more def. plugged in new values, and it matched up again. so then i went to ah and got a pen and piece of paper. i wrote down the ac and def for all of the titan set, the def for the reaver's edge weapon, and the items that i had on that had def. then i looked at feats figured out the spec i would use, and wrote down those def and ac bonuses. then i added it all up and plugged it in. it came out around 59% dr base. then i factored determination (tab ability), which gives 25-50% dr when up (% is determined by how high the bar is when u pop it), into the equation where it should be and at the max %, 50%, it came out to around 88% dr. thats 12% of total dmg taken. but if u deflect during that time it will cut in 1/2 to 6%. and thats only figuring gear, feats, tab ability, and deflect. it does not incude the dc power, or my dr power, or anything else i forgot to mention.
these calculations were also with the assumption that because it worked for gf for xilinear and works for gwf with what i could test, that it also would work for gwf at higher values. (ty xilinear for the equation, btw)
*****there is speculation that DR from defence caps out at 50%, but has not been proven yet (also the dr% from defence at the defence amount i calculated was around 48% so i didnt cap it at 50% in equation)*****
2-aggro.if aggro is skewed across the board, then this topic can be shelved until later, but, imo its only skewed for gf and dc. the reason for my opinion is that in total of all the boss fights ive done (total as in each time on each boss is counted), it has been about 50/50 between who has aggro on all the mobs, me (gwf) or the dc.
it would be really awesome if i could get some help figuring all of these questions out. im gonna start working on it when i have a full set for it. just been unlucky on rolls, haven't won much of anything for about a week. (no wins on rolls = no ad from ah)
