Well, yes and no. Nobody tanks anything serious as pld/war anymore. It's all /nin. So most of your damage mitigation and enmity generation tools are on recast timers that'd be affected by slow. You'd constantly be macroing that stuff out. Even the JAs which aren't affected by slow you'd want to macro something in of +enmity. Those two pieces pretty much go in an "oshi-" macro. This is all assuming you don't mind blinking like a christmas light. Personally I try to keep visible gear swaps to an absolute minimum when tanking, and slow+10% full time gets a hearty {No thanks.}
So after typing that I amend my answer. It's not "yes and no" it's just "no." Only in a very niche situation like say Citadel Buster would I think the -damage on that armor was worth its drawbacks.
