I've found the reverse... even for agro considerations.

I don't see how block value is going to compare to spelldamage for threat.
It might be a higher ilvl, but that doesn't mean it's a better item for prot paladins. Block value, while good, is not in general as useful for a prot paladin as spelldamage is. The
[Chestplate of Stoicism] has functionally no threat for a paladin; if gemmed with spelldamage, it has less stamina as well. It does have more avoidance and serves a purpose, but that isn't to say it's the better item for a paladin in general.
Like I said, it's the more generically useful item. It may not be ideal for tanking trash in Hyjal or kiting a fel reaver. It may not be ideal for a high-avoidance fight. But it's going to be useful everywhere and better in a lot of places that the chestplate is not.
