i already did my homework....
i just wanna hear from a rogue....
Looks like Brooch is the only thing that can save me right now...
but 16 defence rating + 21 dodge rating is ALOT of mitigation loss, that's why i'm kinda reluctant.

@ Quaza,
There are a million threads about tanks not gemmng for HR,
i can link u to some, but i'd rather not.... won't prove anything anyways.
people get TWO or MORE tanking sets for a reason. if dps isnt a concern and staying alive is, just pure mitigation. if sudden death streaks eg: kara prince - parry into thrash that crushes then more hp pool is prefered to have allow healers more breathing room. and likewise as this derailed topic goes, if you want more TPS for more dps room, get HR/expertise.
you can link all the "million" of threads you want, but fact is when people are all in favor to min-maxing their characters/group/raids/guilds, they will go for the extra mile. call them hardcore or no life but when it comes down to getting the job done they will be the person you want to be with.

Expertise is the best stat for both aggro and mitigation though.
Edit: Quaza just plays with/knows some horrible tanks.
eh how would expertise helps on mitigation? only reduces dodge/parry, dont think it helps? unless im missing something.
and what you said is correct. cuz being dps capped at 1-1,2k despite so many PVE upgrades (even the T6 equalvalent welfare loots) should make it VERY apparent. but again, in a PUG enviroment, you cant expect people to friggin spec/gear threat builds LOL. (theres 1-2 tanks that pugs a lot with me does that though, since he knows well how much dps i can do and partying with them allows an extra threshold of 100-200more DPS)
even SIMPLE things such as using BATTLESHOUT over commanding shout would make a world's difference in getting that extra threat. even if it does buff me, know this that rogues have passive threat reduction while the tank have ALL the bonuses in the world to ultilize that AP to produce more threat than the rogue ever would to steal it. and tanks that group with me more would know of this. its only a prob with pala tanks but then again i can always group them with sham for WOA, which usually solves the problem almost instantly, and casters LOVE them for AOE speed pulls

I'm not so concerned with my attacks getting parried or dodge...
i want my demo shout to land every time (or most of the time).
So for my case, HR > Expertise.
from my experience, 40ish HR seems to be the minimum i should aim for atm..
so 35 HR from romulo's vial is HECK ALOT !!!
if demo shout is ur only damn concern you can go 0 hit rating /shrug
