You do not gear out tanks and dps in Velious stuff in 24 hours. Avatar is pretty much the end all be all for increasing raid DPS in Velious and that shit takes a LONG time to equip. 5500HP? Good luck I guess, you better bring about 250 players to zerg rez the fuck out of him.
When Eabon led his raids in Plane of Sky I think everyone saw how much of a beast Bzzt was trying to CH chain. Making it through that fight with him tanking and living was a crapshoot. The bee only quadded and he even hits for LESS and DOES NOT FLURRY like AoW -- AoW has 30x more HP than that bee too.
I hope Nilbog is there when this guy decimates everyone for an hour or however long his depop timer is so he can laugh at all of you :P

Heartbrand posted a log of the bee hitting 13 times in one second here. If the Avatar of war gets 3 attack rounds of 8 attacks per second, then yes he might be trouble. If he has a 'normal' three second cooldown, he won't be a problem at all.
Let's say for a moment that our defensive warrior has 5500HP + 300 in additional Velious buffs for 5800. 8 attacks at 700 each is only 5600, but with two kicks he might be one rounded. Lets then say that the Avatar of War hits 80% of the time and hits for max damage 80% of the time, and our warrior will parry/block/guard etc 12% of the time. The chance of him getting in 8 max hits is: [0.8*0.8*0.88]^8 = .56^8 = 0.01, or 1%. So our warrior can on average tank 100 rounds or 300 seconds which is actually longer than defensive discipline. And 80% hit/80% max damage is EXTREMELY conservative. I checked Sakuragi's logs and when evasive the Spiroc Lord hits him 30% of the time, and 30% of those hits are for max damage. And this is an Iksar Warrior with 1000AC unbuffed. If we knock the Avatar of War down to 50% max hits, the math becomes [0.8*0.5*0.88]^8 = .02%.
Not to mention the fact that TMO will have 5-10 such tanks and if a few die due to bad luck or confusion they'll still have 5 left
