Most tanks though aim to be hit capped through gear, not through flasks. I am at 102.5% without flasks and therefore take the stamina. Many tanks do the same thing.

I agree stamina is not the be all and end all like it was before. But only a tank would pick that up, most players see the big huge number and stam and think TANK, so it was there for effect. The average player that is not a tank does not understand that stamina is not the best stat until you are hit capped (and even then avoidance can still be better), they see big stamina numbers and understand tanks need health. 450 stam or 0 stam by not taking a flask is an easy example for the average player to follow. While I could have used 300 mastery, it would not have the same meaning to the masses....

The duplicate 3% was an accidental cut and paste issue. As for the 4% not being listed, many buffs are not listed, there are almost 30 that are possible after all. The ones listed for the base of most buff lists. Buffs or debuffs that come from a single class are usually not counted on, especially in this context of being a simple buff list for new raiders that plan on using the upcoming raid finder.

A very easy quest chain to complete that grants some of the best cloaks in the game short of raiding.

An amazing tanking cloak that is super easy to get, just complete the "Saving Thrall" quest chain.

One of the best looking Paladin sets out there, and one that I am glad I kept so that I can use it with Transmogrification.
