What are you fighting that is getting that many stacks against you before you die?
Do they really need the BCR stacks to do it?
Imagine if they had 30-40% more damage there instead, would that be better?

If you are fighting lightning trap, I honestly don't think block is working correctly with it, that it is either a ton of projectiles hit or none of them (odd duds).

If you are fighting glacial cascade mines, aside from the coming changes making it moot, I don't think BCR is the deciding factor there.

How are you not more concerned with Scorching Ray - or the newly buffed Death's Oath (aura nodes from Timeless Jewel)?

Best way to protect yourself is more effective health, but no amount of life will matter once the chaos degen clouds return (scaled on minion life), you need to get Chaos Inoculation and 20k ES and ES regen like Espada mentions - all real tanks are stacking ES and have regen on block or on focus or on flask use.

The PVP damage in the game has gotten so extreme that only the broken energy shield system can handle most of it.

(And it is broken, they took a neat idea, that relied on breaking combat to trigger regen, and then took away all of its limitations, aside from it being opposite most of the cool melee nodes in the tree, which is not really a limitation when melee builds are generally the least effective builds anyway)
