I would highly recommend against gem or forging for expertise or hit. With the current gear selection our current stats in order of importance are: Stamina, Armor, Agility, Dodge Rating, Bonus Armor, Mastery Rating, Strength, Expertise Rating, Crit Rating, Attack Power, Hit Rating, Health, Haste. I would recommend instead reforging any and all haste or hit, into dodge.

Sockets:

Blue: Stam

Red: Agi + Stam

Yellow: Dodge + Stam

Remember Agility gives bears, Attack Power, Dodge, Crit, and Armor.

@blaa269 That's a great strategy if you don't care if dps tear threat off you ever fight.

[blaa269]

@Neandrathal With the advent of our vengeance ability it makes misses, parries, and dodges, not as damning. Although it goes without saying, if you find your self having "trouble" holding aggro, add some hit or expertise. I will clarify even further, what I mean by "trouble," is not "OMG I can't get snap aggro". I mean that if throughout a fight you find yourself fighting for aggro, then by all means, check if your missing. For the most part though, your healer will prefer less damage taken.

[Neandrathal]

@blaa269 You won't take less damage. The damage will just mean less when compared to your inflated health pool. They end up having to heal you more. Don't forget that by landing hits you enable Savage Defense. It's verrrry rare to find a tank that can keep aggro off a skilled dps consistently. This is because for some reason unknown to me, players have become infatuated with large numbers. For the past 2 years tanks have been acquiring as much stamina as they can, disregarding their threat.

question, i tend to see warriors and paladins get wrecked with no cc in heroics, is this true for bear tanks? kind of a dumb question i know since in the vid you were aoe tanking fine, but did you start with cc and are now geared enough to just aoe tank all the mobs?

[Neandrathal]

@zhead88 These dungeons were not on heroic. I require crowd control in heroics. I just wanted to focus on the strategy of AoE tanking without having to explain the CC in fights.

You know what sucks about WoW? The fact that if you don't play it all the time like most WoW nerd you might as well nt play at all because a lot of people who play won't play with people who aren't that good. So it's become a loney WoW nerd or don't play at all.

Thanks Nean this helped me ALOT!

@Neandrathal If a DPS is pulling aggro, they aren't skilled. Any dumbass with good gear can pull aggro off a tank. The finesse and skill in playing DPS is doing the damage and not pulling aggro.
