Ah, thanx for the solid advice on where armor becomes less useful than avoidance! I have around 40% selfbuffed dodge right now, because I mostly socket pure agi so my DPS and Tanking gear can be shared (plus I get enough stam from raid buffs anyway). I reach around 50% raid buffed dodge with GoA and Kings, and then Idol of Terror procs give me that much more. I do wish I had some more T5 so I could benefit from the vastly improved stam on it, though.
Which reminds me... I stuck solid stars of Elune into my t5, in preparation for making it a high-stam set once I get a few more pieces. Would it make more sense to socket agi and just pump that dodge up even further? I've reached 20k HP fully raid buffed and flasked on our Kael attempts these last weeks, if that helps you get an idea of how much stam I might or might not want to go for, over avoidance stats.
And on that note, is it just me, or does it seem unfair that warrior tanking gear has SO MUCH stam, and so many sockets to put EVEN MORE stam, that my guild's MT has like 2-3k more HP than I do? I'm a Tauren bear for crying out loud, I get +50% stam in bear form, and I'm still significantly below him! Maybe it'll even out a bit once I get more T5 I guess.
