Poe has legitimately been over-nerfed
(Please read the post before responding. I am not claiming he is useless or asking him to be returned to what he was like before.) When the initial nerf to Poe (tenacity and expose) was announced, I ...

Sorry but this is just not true at the top level in arena. Every character you put on your team needs to bring a lot to the table to justify filling a spot on your roster. The faster they are, the more buffs, the more damage, the more debuffs all for the better. An arena fight is a race to the finish where you try to burn your opponent down faster than he burns you down.
Who would you rather have QGJ or Poe? Dooku or Poe? GS or Poe? Yoda or Poe? Rey or Poe? I could go on, but you get my point. He has no place anymore on a top team because there are MANY better options now. And that goes for all tanks, there is no place for them on the best teams you can craft. They are simply all too slow to taunt, get out out in front of some HEAVY damage in round 1, and do their 1 job - soak up hits. Poe's survivability was great before the nerf. He had high resists and a decent self heal that eventually added up allowing him to take more damage. He was doing his 1 job before.
Those of you saying he is still good are either on a new shard, have not faced top team comps or your shard has not caught up to the shift in meta. Give it some time but Poe will be phased out. If you're running Poe, your team is simply not going to be as good as it possibly can be.
