[Tanking] Stamina = Rage

[WorldofWarcraft.com]

You're reading it backwards (which is our fault). As your health increases, the rage you get per damage point decreases.

The intention is that you get about the same rage income no matter how the boss actually deals damage (fast vs. slow attacks, or raid auras vs. adds for instance).

You are also getting rage from fully avoided or partially mitigated hits, which is huge.
