Yeah, spell hit is worthless. Slap some more stamina on that madness. Ditto the spelldam/stam gems, just go straight Stam in a few of those. 400+ before applying Superior Wizard Oil is way more than enough for up to, like, Tier 6 content.

Beyond that you look very solid gearwise, although you could use a little more adjustment to your talent build. I would drop Vindication and Improved Judgment entirely and put that in Anticipation; taking Anticipation puts less of a stress on your gear for +defense and allows you to stack more avoidance or Stamina junk. I'd drop down to 2 points in 1H spec to get that last point in Anticipation and two points into Spell Warding (less damage is less damage, natch, and 4% off of a 2000 damage spell on top of any resists is a lot). Finally, this is something I prefer, I'd go with Improved Devotion Aura instead of Reckoning; Reckoning is a kind of nice threat buff when it goes off, but that doesn't happen too often on a lot of bosses and you should have Devo up when tanking anyway since Retribution doesn't fire if you're uncrushable and 1200 armor is, like, wearing another helmet. It'll put you at nearly 17500 armor, which would be enough for Tier 5 content without trying.

A few things need adjustment (definitely ditch Vindication and Imp Judgment, they do very little for you), but you definitely have the right ideas.

(Also you're wearing the gear I want in a month or two )

(also how does this forum not have words and argh, Lord BEEF has failed us all )

EDIT: Spell hit is worthless, slap some more SPELL HIT on that madness

I'm not sure if you are asking a question or answering a question that I didn't see looking back over the previous page of posts.

Either way, I'll expand a little.

Druid taunt, Warrior taunt, and Paladin taunt (RD), as you say, benefit only from melee +hit. This was changed many patches ago, as all taunts used to rely on spell hit, making it difficult for warriors, for example, to improve their hit rate on taunt.

However, in all other ways, all three taunt abilities are still treated as a spell. This means that the miss rate on taunt for the three classes is 17% against a level 73 (or boss) opponent, and means that 1% of that can not be done away with, no matter how much you stack +hit.

It also means that you cannot taunt if you are silenced, I believe, even for warriors and druids.

Ah, I see.

Flametongue totem is worthless, stick with Wizard Oil; Flametongue totem doesn't benefit from your extra threat from Righteous Fury, meaning it's threat is simply equal to the damage it does, and the damage it does isn't high.

Windfury vs. Wizard Oil is a different matter entirely however. Wizard Oil is 21 TPS, Meaning you'd need 106 TPS from your Seal of Righteousness + Auto-Attack to make Windfury better. 106 TPS is lower than the base TPS values of Seal of Righteousness + Auto-Attack however. In other words, Windfury is better than having a Wizard Oil.

Or to put it very simply: Wrath of Air + Wizard Oil > Windfury > Wizard Oil > Flametongue

I would have thought that as HS has twice as many charges per 5s when compared to a warrior's shield block, parry hasting is not such a concern for paladin tanks, except for the small downtime between HS refreshes. Additionally, warriors will typically be interweaving instant attacks (sunder armor, devastate, revenge) between white hits, which means that warriors will have significantly more chances to be parried than a paladin with or without Reckoning (although Reckoning is obviously a lot "burstier").

This is not to say that Reckoning is a no-brainer - you always have to weigh the survivability cost, however minor, against the threat benefit - but it's worth bearing in mind that any fight where you feel Reckoning is too dangerous will be even more so for an equivalently geared warrior tank.

Disclaimer: My prot pally has yet to tank a raid boss, so take my opinion with a grain of salt :P
