3.2 Avoidance Stats Changing

So i was wondering around looking at avoidance rating numbers on wowwiki when i ran across this table:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Combat_rating_system
Its under the "From Patch 3.2 onward"
It states the following:
Defense Skill (1% combined miss/dodge/parry) -- 41
Dodge (1% dodge) ------------------------------------------- 45.25
Parry (1% parry) ---------------------------------------------- 45.25
So it looks like defense rating will become the new most wanted avoidance stat. Parry wont be the red headed step child it is today, though it still wont be as good as dodge rating for DK's since we get a big chunk of parry rating through strength as a class skill.
Anyone able to crunch the numbers on DR and figure out with these numbers to tell us how much defense rating you need for parry rating to be just as good? Also if you take say 900 strength, how much defense and dodge rating do you need before parry rating is just as good?
EDIT:
I think this change may actually make
Saronite Animus Cloak
better than the
Platinum Mesh Cloak

Old news:
The numbers are

The ideal ratio between dodge and parry rating is approximately 1.875:1.

Thanks for the links. It looks like everyone agree's that defense rating is now the best stat to stack for avoidance. It's least effected by DR out of all options, and it gives the most avoidance per rating point.

Please tell me then, instead of using gems for extra parry/dodge it would actualy be better to go for def gems?
Or am I missing the point here somewhere?
