Hey, great info, thanks!

For me I would replace damage with survivability
good point, so how should we rate the survivability? is it what their rotation offers in passive cooldowns, or o shit buttons? I'm willing to add it if i get a clear sense of the differences in their survivability. I'm not sure yet what those differences are. How would you do it?

I'm unclear if you are saying that as a DK tank you don't use dodge/parry gear and just use your DPS gear?
No, but everything I read about the DK tank makes me want to mitigate damage, and not avoid, to not get bursty damage, and make life more predictable. especially for teams that you control yourself, or mix with 4 DPS that can heal you at regular intervals. So in that case, you max mastery and hit, then exp and stack STAM before you go nuts with dodge and parry. They will be on your gear, and a big part to be sure, but it wont be lik before when a tank had stamina and all dodge and parry and couldn't fight worth a damn in PvP specs.
