Original Post:
It seems to be that the other tanking classes get a lot more benefit from Strength than druids do (both mitigation and threat):
Warrior: 2 Str = 1 Block and threat from higher white/yellow damage
Paladin: 2 Str = 1 Block and Shield of the Righteous deals 2*block damage as holy
DK: Strength -> Parry and threat from higher white/yellow damage
Druids: Strength gives threat but no mitigation/avoidance of any kind
It looks like strength is being positioned as an important tanking both offensively and defensively, for the other tanks, but only offensively for druids.
If we flash forward ½ year and look at a druid trying to compete with the other classes when the massive amounts of strength does nothing for mitigation on a druid.
I think we need either block or parry as a strength based conversion to increase the value of Strength for Druids compareble to the other tank classes
