If you had used the "Search this thread" feature to look for 102.4 you'd have found some recent discussion on this subject.

Original Post:

Long timer troller, first time seeking real help.
I've been reading and reading throughout the last few weeks. Since 3.2 really, and haven't been able to find an answer for something another prot paladin reccomended to me.
It's been suggested to ignore the 102.4 avoidance cap as it exists for wotlk, based on the assumption that Ulduar mobs hit hard enough to make it not as vital as it was before. I've always paid attention to this cap and had good success.
Do we still care about this cap? With the lack of block rating items available in Ulduar and the change bringing parry and dodge on par for ratings points should I let my block rating go as it's this that keeps me above the 102.4 cap?
I've often used an avoidance macro from the maintankadin site to test where I'm at. Is there still a valid one given the dodge and parry changes? Without a macro I actually don't know and cannot find the calculation to determine my avoidance accurately.

please lend a sad dwarf a hand.
p.s. I have read the rules and understand "here's my armory, help me not suck." Hope I'm not too close to the line of this. I've been sifting through the forums for quite awhile trying to find the answers with significant lack of satisfaction.
