First of all, this patch really brought down the value of resilience. But it is still a very useful stat.
Since resilience doesn't scale linearly, we will only compare the first 8 points of resilience vs 13 stamina. But keep in mind that each point of resilience is worth more, especially at the beginning because the scaling is almost linear but the return is close to exponential. Judging by this armory, the first 7 points of resilience gives 1.47% extra reduction, so it is safe to say that 8 resilience from this or this should give more than 1.65% of reduction.
Let's see what the break-even point is for 8 resilience vs 13 stamina:
x/0.5835=(x+130)/0.6
solving for x, we get x = 4597
So basically, if it takes someone more than 4597 of damage to kill you, then you are still better off with 8 resilience than 13 stamina from AGM.
Well, good healers can usually heal themselves for over 10k before they are taken down, and even if you are not a healer, if you get priest bubble/druid HoT, or even use bandage/potion, they all benefit from resilience.
Again, stamina increases your effective health if you just stand there and do nothing, but resilience increases your longevity, which is extremely important in PvP.
