I have a question regarding the actual chance of any given boss attack to be a parry hasted swing. Most will agree that the base parry chance for a boss is close to 15%. Assuming that a single wield boss will usually auto attack twice per 5 seconds and a warrior tank will attack 6 times per 5 seconds (3 auto, 3 special). To me this would indicate that the incident of parry hasted swings is actually higher. You're giving your opponent 3 chances but he only needs to parry one attack on average to get hasted. This would seem to me that rather then 15% of your opponent's auto attacks are hasted, its actually closer to 39% [1 - (1 - 0.15)^3]. You could try to attack less but that's really not an option for most of the fight. Is my reasoning off?
With Garithras's post regarding Expertise's efficiency at reducing successive parries its starting to make me wonder how much Expertise I should be stacking at the expense of "real" avoidance gear. The amount of total expertise that a T5 tank can currently have is 25 (77 rating plus 6) and a T6 Tank can have 32 (105 rating plus 6). Certainly not an inconsiderable amount but this involves wearing two gimmick threat items (Brooch of Deftness and Shapeshifter's Signet).
