It has to do with hit caps and vitality breakpoints. Yes, you can get more damage on a Brutallus-style fight by dropping 15 agi for another 15 hit. But, you Vitality breakpoints won't work out as well, so it'll be only a fairly minor DPS increase; you'll lose about a percent of dodge for your minor DPS increase; and you'll be over the hit cap against 70s and 71s, which will hurt your trash DPS plus DPS on sub-72 adds for those fights that have them (and there are at least 2 in Sunwell). So if you're going for the absolute maximum balls-to-the-wall DPS on Brutallus... yes, you can do better. If you're looking for a set of gear that does 99.9% as well on Brutallus and better in a number of other areas... I prefer the setup I proposed. Which should you do? Well, that's up to you. I know what *I* want to do, but I think there's a number of reasonable options for high-end gear selection.
For instance: Executioner MH is a viable option. Bladed Chaos Tunic instead of Carapace can be made to work. Hard Khorium Band instead of Band of Ruinous Delight is a reasonable choice. Golden Bow of Quel'thalas does have some advantages relative to Thori'dal (beyond the obvious one, that being the fact that you're a lot more likely to be able to get one). And Shoulderpads of Vehemence + T6 gloves instead of T6 shoulders + Immortal Dusk also can yield a valid gear set. It all comes down to what your priorities are; some of those options give more survivability, some give stats that are better for PvP, some do better or worse on trash - it's all a matter of your priorities. I'm of the opinion that the above setup is the best for general PvE DPS, but if you have an alternative setup you prefer, that's fine too.
