How about you post your ideas in the Suggestions Forum that we don't offer.

What if we added a "toughness" aspect to thick hide? It would give us extra damage mitigation, based on our strength.

I've been imagining similar things, but remember, the whole point of this nonsense is to let us share rogue gear -- make it AP, not strength, or we're back needing special snowflake leather.

My personal favorite is the idea of getting damage reduction from +hit. Something like 1/5 of your increased hit chance would give us 6% DR at 30% hit -- in otherwords, in top of the line hit itemization, it would bring our magical mitigation in line with the paladin base effect and below warriors and DKs. It would increase shared gear desires and give us a totally new way to scale.

Either way, be careful to ask what stats rogues like before you suggest new stats for druids. The last piece of rogue gear with strength was their dungeon 1 set, and I doubt that will change anytime soon.
