Stack armor. Gem for stam, enchant for agility. If you can get good agility/dodge as secondary stats on armor while doing it, GREAT! Once you hit the armor cap, then you can start worry about swapping pieces for less armor and more dodge or stam.

No, it's really not noticeable considering the difference in other stats you have to sacrifice to get there. The most you ever need is enough health + armor to survive back to back crushing blows (never let yourself get crit, it's just dumb), beyond that, stack dodge. Don't get me wrong, more HP and Armor is always good, but talking like 25% dodge is "Average" in a raiding environment is absurd. Self buffed I have 42%, admittedly I have some T6, but my numbers with starting Kara T4 weren't nearly as low as 25%.
I was tanking Maulgar/Gruul before the massive armor buffs hit us, trust me, you don't need armor cap.
