Is there a reason why Rawr puts such a low value on Hit/Expertise? I know they are not survival stats, but I believe they still are quite important. Having a taunt miss could mean a death or even a wipe. Also, it seems the heroic version of some trinkets are not correctly working (stats are ok, but proc is not shown). Normal versions seem ok though.

EDIT : Noticed another thing with Rawr. When trying to edit the reforging on my trinket (Porcelain Crab) and Relic (Relic of Khaz'goroth), the page turns white and I have to refresh the page and reload my saved character.

According to this : Warrior Hit Rating , interrupts can miss. Although it is nice to know that taunts cannot miss. I will be testing the interrupts on my raid Wednesday night.

@Jackoneill: Read the other thread about Bear tanking on EJ. It has been showed several times that the interrupt effect can indeed miss, while the interrupt itself cannot. In other words, you will always interrupt the spellcast, but the spell lock and higher mana-cost effect will not apply if you miss.

I have not seen my Skull Bash miss this week, but other people in my guild tell me that they have seen their interrupt miss. They weren't druids though. Is it only Skull Bash that cannot miss or is it true for ANY other interrupt also?

Another question regarding Rawr. I am still unable to have the heroic version of the trinkets working (ilvl 346 trinkets). I am trying to decide if I should buy (or craft) one of the Darkmoon Card trinkets (either Earthquake or Hurricane).

Don't assume this to be true for interrupt-based abilities other than Skull Bash.

Just to be sure, when I gain 1 point of mastery, the 4% bonus is applied to the base savage defense shield ? Not to the "after-mastery that I already have" shield ?

Rawr is telling me to reforge just about everything to Mastery and/or Expertise, and switch gems to a mixture of Agi/Stamina, Agi/Mastery, but mostly straight Agi. (I'm gemmed almost entirely for Agility now)

I'm over the survival soft cap of 450k (just slightly), and at 662k mitigation. Why is it telling me to switch to Mastery (a gain of around 600 Mastery rating, or 3.4 Mastery), and drop my Dodge reforging (a loss of 771 Dodge rating, or ~2.8% Dodge chance)?

What are you basing this on? I had brought up some logs a little while ago showing skull bash missing, but it was then pointed out that if you look at the actual logs you'll see the interrupt still happens. Unless you have logs showing otherwise.

While this is true, I would ask how important it be that a tank can execute said crucial interrupts.

Up until recently, only Warrior and DK tanks had a reliable interrupt; interrupting was almost universally considered to be solely a DPS task and they did just fine on KT, Vezax, LDW, etc. without tanks in the interrupt rotation, even in a 10m group which has less interrupts available.

Yet the day 4.0.1 drops, interrupting suddenly becomes yet another job thrown on the tanks' already-full plate that they are expected to perform. It seems to me that "needing" to be hit/exp capped so interrupts don't miss is just offloading more raid work onto the tanks.

Perhaps if you are in a 10m group that has a very poor comp, I could see needing reliable interrupts from tanks, but I find it hard to believe you can assemble a 10m that doesn't have one single warrior, rogue, shaman, mage, or death knight. I argue that tanks needing to be in the interrupt rotation is a solution looking for a problem, and we should focus on mitigation and survivability, which at the end of the day benefits everyone in the raid.

Edit: Something that does bear highlighting is that hit/exp do contribute to mitigation through SD, though nowhere near as much as crit and mastery, so while they have merit towards mitigation, it is not much. My point here is that getting the hit/exp caps will depend greatly on each individual situation, and preaching a blanket "everyone needs hit cap for interrupts" is not wise. I understand that was not moz's point, but other forums I visit (and even the other feral in my guild) already have druid 'guides' saying "you need hit/exp cap naoi!!11!" and that is just not true.

Are you having any issue with threat with aoe targets? or rage generation?
