Actually, I think this is the new "go to" mres item for many tanks. With 60 mres it gives the most mres out of any tank item and the alternatives aren't that great either.

I mean the only other options are Banshee's, Spirit Visage, Abyssal, Wit's or Maw. Banshee is bad because you want them to focus you, not ignore you (though it's the best after Bulwark, I think). Spirit Visage is only worth it if you have a lot of regen or a healing ability (Singed, Mundo, Voli, have SV as main mres item, if not Bulwark). Abyssal might be too offensive and not enough defensive, the same goes for Wit's and Maw.

So yeah, the most mres out of all tank items and the most team utility = the best mres tank item unless you've got some special synergy with any of the others (like a healing ability + Spirit Visage).
