We don't know how fury will relate to the amount of damage dealt to you. At least, I don't know that. So it might be that a 1 hit KO and a successful block both give you the same amount of fury.
Still, it's a balance of play-styles. If you like living on the edge you can lower your armour and such to gain more fury. If you like to hold out longer and be able to melee longer, which also increases your fury btw, you will be able to do that as well.
I don't think that a defensive/'tank' build is non-viable. Defensive skills will probably have a lower fury cost, since you want to cast them before you get into the fight, not while you're fighting.
