--Red socket
--Meta socket
--+4 Agi socket bonus
+32 Str
+32 Agi
+45 Sta
+15 Hit rating

Mantle of Malorne, Epic, ilvl 105
Leather, 430 armor (+180)
--Blue socket
--Blue socket
--+3 Hit rating socket bonus
28 Str
23 Agi
38 Sta
+13 Hit rating

Greaves of Malorne, Epic, ilvl 105
Leather, 442 armor (+150)
+38 Str
+33 Agi
+55 Stam

Breastplate of Malorne, Epic, ilvl 105
Leather, 483 armor (+150)

--Yellow socket
--+3 Hit rating socket bonus
+31 Str
+36 Agi
+50 Stam

See how easy it is to create great bear gear that is also reasonable for cat form DPS (in addition to very survivable?) The key is to note that Crit and Dodge rating are both quite inefficient for us compared to Agility (in cat and bear, respectively) and so the only rating we really need (in both forms!) is Hit. An even mix of high Str and Agi gives us maximum returns on our item budget (like the old AQ40 leather) for both threat in bear and overall cat DPS output.
