90 Blood DK's, what are you reforging to currently?

[Lirik]

I am thinking of going for hit/exp and then reforging to mastery seeing how it is viable this expansion OR just going for straight mastery reforge while keeping a consistent dodge/parry like during cata.

So, for you 90 blood DK's doing heroics, what have you been doing?

[Projali]

You don't want to balance dodge and parry the same way as prior expansions because there's a 3:1 diminishing return ratio in favor of parry.
Mastery is still king with preference for hit/expertise benefitting but not surpassing mastery's importance.

So with that being said, are we still forging out hit/exp into mastery?

i think im the same going to go for the hit/exp cap and try a mastery build but i think a dodge / mastery or parry/mastery build will be best

Here's the link of 2 of the DK tanks that got Gold medal in Challenge mode:

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...r/Rathy/simple

and

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Lootch/simple

1st one seems to go for dodge/parry instead of mastery
2nd one go mostly mastery

Both have under 1% hit and exp so I guess reforging it to mastery dodge/parry is a good thing ^^

Stat priority hasn't changed. In terms of survivability, it's still mastery>avoidance>haste>hit/exp. The only difference is that, as some have mentioned above, you balance dodge/parry differently than before.

Im doing mastery > haste > avoid > hit/exp. Working great for me, but atm just doing Heroics and World Bosses. Waiting for my guildies to catch up before CMs and Raiding.

I'm doing Mastery > Avoidance = Hit/Exp (to cap) > DPS stats

Mastery is king, especially this early on in the expansion where effective health is a much bigger deal. I prefer avoidance to hit/exp because threat seems to be no problem even with 1% hit, but arguments can be made for the opposite as well.
