For those rogues who haven't seen it yet, Wowhead implemented a new
theorycrafting forum
. If you have any interest on where the advice being shelled out around here is coming from, or you feel you have some numbers to contribute to the community as a whole, I highly recommend you check it out. We're currently having a nice little chat on the merits of hit rating.
Also, I'm bored and theorycrafting is probably my favorite part of WoW. So shut up and stop mocking me, and go give me some numbers to pore over.

So why is expertise worth more?
Because mobs DO dodge from behind.
EDIT: since Fea's slacking I'll explain more: That 5% dodge mobs have can not be eliminated by anything else than expertise. No amount of +hit gems will remove that static ~5% loss of dps (yeah I know it's probably not 5%). That's why it's that good.

God, some people have to drive home from work once in awhile. STOP BEING SO NEEDY! <3
Anyway, KidB is entirely correct; while players cannot dodge if you're hitting them from behind, NPCs do. That's why expertise is valuable. As for why it's actually more valuable than hit, consider that after the special attack hit cap (a hair over 63 hit rating, with 5/5 Precision), hit rating only affects white damage, as special attacks can no longer miss. However, they can still be dodged, so while hit only affects white damage, expertise will boost both your white
and
yellow damage. Does that make sense?

Most recently I had the thread that claimed for 300+ gold/hour and had some virus in it or something.
