Regarding Mastery for tanks at level 80:
Wouldn't it be near OP to gain hit-immunity granting a guaranteed 30% damage reduction for melee hits?

A quick test on the PTR tells me that the cap was changed. I took a DK with ~880 dodge and ~690 parry and reforged some dodge to parry. My avoidance totals (dodge + parry) grew up to some point (at...

Blade Ward proc frequency is not related to your crit chance, so the T8 2pc bonus does nothing for that. It's a clearly inferior threat-bonus to 2pc T7 though since we are tanks we have to swallow...
