How important is hit rating for tanking?

I've been looking for upgrades to get with frost emblems and shy'd away from getting the sentinel cape because it would drop me below the soft cap for hit rating (going from 5.1 to 4.3 or something like that). am i just being goofy and worrying about the hit rating or not?

You want to try to stay around 6% or so as best you can, because there are many times where a missed taunt can be very annoying. A good example of this is Saurfang where the tanks need to taunt off of each other pretty frequently and if you have low hit you will have a good chance of missing a taunt and prolonging the fight.
For doing heroics it doesn't really matter, a missed attack here and there won't normally cause any big grief but many times in raids where missing an opener or a taunt could be devastating then that's when hit suddenly becomes a bit more important.
I suggest saving up some gold/badges to get

crafted. They have a nice chunk of hit on them and the lack of def can be made up easily enough with gems/enchants. I'm having some crafted for my DK pretty soon
