Capitalize and punctuate properly. I realize English may not be your native language, but this is pretty painful to read. Additionally, avoid acronyms like "ofc". Lastly, your posts are a bit on the aggressive side. Take 24 hours to cool off.

I assure you i live under no illusion . Stamina stacking and Firelands simply does not go hand in hand .period.
Aside from not understanding your current gemming nor your specc completely (especially skipping the points in improved blood tap ) this is a topic discussing end-game tanking as dk , optimal choices , optimal speccs .
Any missleading info , after being proven wrong should be disregarded. It`s a place to draw information for an "optimal"/universally-accepted specc/talent trees/glyph choice , not a place to give people wrong directions.
Ofc speccing/gemming/glyphing especially for a certain progression fight is a different story but stacking stamina is..no, just no. Could you give me an example of ONE boss in current tier on which it is more benefficial to stack stamina on , or as you said it "If your EH is actually being challenged, stamina is the answer" . it does not add up . i might be incorrect although i highly doubt it. please, explain your stamina choice .i cant undertsand how loosing a TON of avoidance over stamina is prefferable.

You need some avoidance to be able to mittigate SOME of the hits . you can`t just chug stamina and expect results or blame healers for your death cause you took 6 subsequent hits in the face and didn`t dodge any .

There have been people testing end-game combos with stamina/mastery/avoidance satcking (as dk ofc ) . Those people posted their feedback on this or other forums and from that feedback of people who DID clear end-game content , a lot of usefull data was provided and after it all cooled down , after all the data was ready was analyzed , an "optimal" priority of stats was pretty mcuh established : Mastery > Dodge > Parry > Exp > Hit > Haste > Crit .

look at WoW Gearscore Rankings :: WoWProgress - World of Warcraft Rankings and History , consider the gemmming/speccing/reforging and stat priorities of high-end dk tanks like Wakez, Riggnaros, Januzz, Alurez and re-consider your choices or share with the community an explanation of your choices. maybe they /we all all wrong and live ,as you so freely stated under "illusions" .

Looking at your gemmign choice i would say you choose stam > expertize > hit > mastery . am i correct ?
