Fixed from "damage reduction" to "armor reduction". Accidentally slipped a wrong word there. Thanks again. :)
Considering a complete rewrite for the Agi/Stamina section. Since I have to constantly explain it on the official forums, I keep coming up with more sophisticated arguments lol.

why are you writing free verse poetry
Eh it's not that stam trinkets would be totally useless. I still use one for Firelands bosses. Used to use two for heroic firelands too, back when I did it. For most things however, Tia+Fluid Death are pretty awesome.
(if i had my
Essence of the Cyclone
equipped back when you were checking my armory, thats just my trinket for dailies)
Btw your character looks fine. Two missing enchants, so I would fix that if I were you... and definitely switch the porcelain crab for the Fluid Death. You could really use a better weapon though.

as of saying stam strinks are useless is not totally true I remember now that in some fights you have to adapt yourself to it as you prob said (at least I thought) anyway is the purple agil trinket good to have in T11 raids or isn’t it because its more for firelandd and HC that you could better equipped stamina trinkets is it ?
This paragraph confuses me a bit. Are you questioning whether Fluid Death (the "purple agi trinket" I presume?) is worth using in T11 raids? Or are you asking whether you should be using stam trinkets only in Firelands and above?
Well, Fluid Death + Tia's Grace is BiS for tanking the 5mans and general tanking (bosses with a lot of physical damage), not taking Ragnaros' trinket (
Matrix Restabilizer
) into account. However for Firelands bosses on hc (especially when they have magic damage like Sparks in the Ryolith fight) I use
Vial of Stolen Memories
as my second trinket (keeping Fluid Death in the first slot) for a slight boost to my hp pool and some nice dodge on demand.

I have a question for you O'mighty Thror
On enchanting specifically.
I'm wondering if the leg enchant
Drakehide Leg Armor
and the hand enchant
Greater Mastery
are a better choice than what you had up there.
Post by
Thror
The leg enchant, absolutely not. The one for gloves... hmm. I'll read up on it, and maybe put it in with the pile of updates I have planned.

one more question:
if im not struggling with argo, can I gem +40dodge for yellow instead of +20agi/20dodge ?
Post by

No. Agility outperforms Dodge in terms of mitigation and is a better stat even when you take threat out of the equation.

so this may have been answered already...but is there a point where reforging for dodge rating becomes less beneficial then say mastery?
i doubt i'd be anywhere near that point as my ilvl is only 355, but i'm just wondering since the change to DR's in cata. It's not like we can split our dodge and parry up like the other tank classes, to lessen the affect of DRs.

This is a good observation. However the current level of gearing will not be able to come remotely close to this point. In fact even as gearing improves we may not see this point unless you are near full heroically geared on the final tier of content for Cataclysm.
So for the here and now it's not something that needs to be worried about. When the issue itself comes up I'm sure it will be picked up by the theorycrafters and brought to the forefront on guides.
