Okay, so this is my first 85 maxed character and i've started doing my thing, getting new armour and what not... But now i am very confused about gemming and what I should be prioritizing over other stats? I was reading a guide and it came up with this
1) Critical Strike Rating
2) Hit Rating (8% special, 27% hard cap)
3) Expertise Rating (26 skill cap for DPS)
4) Haste Rating
5) Mastery Rating
Now i can't honestly understand that for my life no idea what 8% special is but i am feeling like 27% hit rating is getting 27% hit rating. So basically when gemming my gear and reforging what should be put over the other?

If you read a guide that said crit is #1 and mastery #5, why would you gem all mastery?
Secondly, that guide was $%^&.

The stats are of right now:
8%hit>26 expertise>strength>hit to around 16-18%>crit>haste>mastery
You get 8% hit so you wont miss a special attack, you get 26 expertise so the attacks wont be dodged from behind a boss.
You get more hit to get a steadier rage generation and in so allowing you to use heroic strike more often since it now is one of the hardest hitting ability's warriors have, at the moment you cant go to the hardcap without sacrificing strength which results in a dps loss.
You get crit to activate flurry and deep wounds.
But when the next patch hits the live servers you will go down a bit on hit and prioritize crit more after reaching the 8% marker since heroic strike will hit for less damage. The hit you will need then is the amount you need to keep a normal rotation going (BT, RB and CS every 20 sec), I think it was around 9-10%.
So blue gem slots would be str/hit, yellow Str/crit, red Str or if you need more hit Str/hit.
If you on the otherhand are trying to activate the chaotic meta, you would gem crit/hit or pure hit on blue slots and crit/hit on yellow. Thou this will also change when the patch hits and you can gem hybrid str gems to activate it.

You won't want to drop hit much, since you might of missed the part where they are changing slam also. It will no longer be free but the dmg is being increased by a fair amount

No, thats wrong.
From the latest patchnotes updated the 19th from blizz homepage :
Fury
In addition to its current effects, Bloodsurge now also causes the next Slam to deal 20% more damage.
they arent taking anything from bloodsurge, just adding 20% damage.

Holy lord, no. This is an overreaction. Strength is still a warrior's best stat by a wide margin.

Red = pure strength
Blue = Str/Hit
Yellow = Str/Crit
Rating Priorities are:
Hit to 8%
Expertise to 26
Hit up to 27% = Crit
Mastery (post 4.06, before patch Mastery and Haste are roughly equally horrid but sadly unavoidable.)
Haste
