So, mine is banked, since normally in my threat kit (high expertise, max hit, 797 block value), I need the Nightstrike to get hit capped, heh.

This is just a glaring itemization hole that we've been shoving stuff in and trying to make it fit since TBC came out. Nightstrike screams rogue weapon, it just happens to have decent stats for prot threat on it. Our ranged weapons were an afterthought.
Before the Engy gun came out, we didn't have any ranged weapons meant for prot (threat or mitigation): You had the Doomwalker gun or ilvl 115+ AH Green of Stamina. The Doomwalker gun was clearly meant for hunters, but tanks could shove stam in the 2 sockets and it was a decent weapon. Then, the engy gun came out, and that was the best option until Teron.
[The Boomstick] wasn't bad, but I only ever used it when I was struggling to stay def capped on Hydross. Still waiting on a decent threat ranged weapon....
