little thought... well, let's see. we will get more from the agility stat, so we obviously are supposed to stack it. agility increases only your melee crit. items with agility rarely have int and tend to have less crit rating than str items. this leads to the following conclusion: in spite of the rating changes, our spell crit chance will stay very very low. that won't be a hell of a problem if maelstrom will actually work as it should but if it won't, our elemental devastation uptime will go down substantially.
second little thought: rogue leather will NOT become more valuable to us, as it lacks int and favors plain AP. instead we will be reduced to mainly hunter gear. (well, at least it's mail...)
third little thought: the deathknight class happens to depend on strength, so there definitely will be a LOT of strength gear in wotlk. all this gear (not the plate but jewelry, cloaks and weapons) is lost to us. while fury warriors, ret pallys and cat druids rejoice, we will spend our time looking for gear with hit, crit, int AND agi, which is... well... hunter loot.

last but not least: i feel strongly reluctant to accept the fact that, say, a ring with crit rating, int and spell power might become more valuable for us (a melee hybrid) than a ring with only crit and strength. what sense does it make to you that 1 point of strength is worth less in our itemisation than 1 point of agility OR 1 point of int?

P.S.: i do use capitals when i feel the need to do so. stop sending infractions.

P.P.S.: i also do realize that because of the rating changes, agility would have become less useful to us than it will be after the str nerf, but as far a i see it, there still will be four classes which prefer strength so the gear choice would still be there.
