I guess I am at a loss here. I realize that tanking stats will more then likely change for all classes. In the mid-60s, the stats seen there for tanking gear were about the same as we are seeing in the mid-70s.
My problem is this: in WotLK, we will have roughly 6 "moves" to do that cause threat. 5 of them are(or at least were) based upon spell damage. Our "shield slam" is based on block value, but is still holy based. Hammer of Righteousness is based upon weapon dmg, then converted into holy again. Strength increases your block value, but that's it... Why are the WoW pally forums, and somewhat here as well, calling for selling our soul (holy dmg) for strength? All current tanking gear has NO strength on it. It is a wasted stat allocation. If you want block value, get something with block value. Everything we do is based upon Holy dmg, why take that and throw it out the window for one out of six abilities? I don't see the reasoning. Up one move's threat, but lowering 5? Not me, no way.
If I am missing something, please help me see it. I'm not a total nub, may be behind the times compared to the rest of you guys. We're half way through BT right now.
