I have a somewhat complex question which should have a simple answer.
If I assume a raid boss(Lvl 90) is affected by tendacity down. If my toon has 100% potency I will still be resisted 15%, same if it had 80%. My question is how low can my potency be and still only be resisted 15% of the time? I am sure someone has worked this out...

Really? I thought TD just reduced the tenacity by 30. Was mistaken then.
If my tm guy only has 0% potency, even with tenacity down it will be resisted half the time because of the level split.
Resist chance = tenacity-potency+levelsplit*10. ...... I think, with a minimum resist chance of 15%... And a max of 85%.
If tenacity down reduces tendacity to 15 then my magic number is 50%potency(more then that is unnessary). If tenacity is reduced to 0, then I only need 35% to only be resisted 15% of the time. I think the case is the later.
Resist chance = (Tenacity including level differences) - Potency to a minimum of 15%
When Boss has TD and you have 0 Potency,
Resist chance = 15% - 0 = 15%
You need 0 Potency.
Repeat after me, you need 0 Potency when Boss has Tenacity Down debuff.
It's quite simple, with tenacity down there's 15% tenacity left on the boss, 15% tenacity = 15% chance to resist, it doesn't matter if you have 0% or 1,000,000% potency
Tenacity Down is -999900% tenacity. No matter the level delta, the end result will still be negative. So even with 0% potency, you will run into the base 15% chance to resist.
With tenacity down the boss only has a 15% chance to resist, no matter what
It's that simple, forget about everything else as it has ZERO impact on the chance to imply a debuff on a boss with tenacity down
