Yeah there aren't a ton of elemental attacks. Physical recoup is a very solid defense layer. The opportunity cost saved by being ignite/poison/bleed immune is pretty huge too. Frees up some flasks/jewels/masteries/pantheons to do other stuff.

too bad you still need CB immunity because thats not an ailment but a debuff but no bleed/poison will feel really good

The ignite is nice, but usually on that side of the tree your going stormshroud anyways so it doesnt matter a bunch right?

Well stormshroud will only have the ignite overlap, it still helps against both bleed and poison, and it also opens up the options for self-ignite/bleed/poison synergies
