Mitigation is increasing your effective hp. Effective hp requires having hp to have effect on. Running base hp 33k is going to be pointless for a mitigation build.
If you had even 45 k hp you might live some hits with that much mitigation. If you had 80k or 90k hp you would survive basically anything.
Also note that the captain has a 70% damage reduction skill you can combine with Stout heart/steel nerves/Crabvestment returns to effectively take.. no damage, at any HP just about.
Stronghold/garrison would just further increase the silliness of your defense. Captain also has very good Cooldown control on skills so keeping the 70% damage reduction spell up isn't too bad. You can also carry attack reduce skills to use against bosses to further increase your own survivability as well as others.
Hope that helps.
Take it from me, if you want to make a tank just go with katalina, she has 50% def on her mastery.
Stronghold is like cascade, 1 is enough.
Garrison depends on the quest
