DK Tank Stats

[stonecoldwall]

I am in need of help.
I have been looking around and just given myself a head ache trying to find out the stat caps for a DK to tank with.
I know of the 540 def cap but not sure what the expertise cap is as it relates to dodge and parry(not sure when expertise stops adding to those stats).
Also the dodge and parry rating cap too.

That is my current build thoe the stat caps is what i really need to know so i can build around those with enchants and gems.
Thanks in advance. ;D

Imma just post again cuase my whole first post is right but sitll no full this is taking from tankspot for gearing warriors for threat but still teh same caps

Expertise: This stat lowers a mob's chance to dodge/parry your attacks. Assuming the standard combat table, a boss has a 6.5% chance to dodge attacks and a 14.25% to parry your attacks. Every point of expertise skill (not expertise rating) lowers the chance for both by 0.25%. This means that if you want to eliminate the chance for a boss to dodge your attacks you need at least 26 expertise (214 expertise rating). If you want to eliminate the chance for a boss to parry your attacks you need 57 expertise (468 expertise rating). Since this stat lowers two forms of avoidance up to the dodge cap, this stat is doubly important as hit up to an expertise skill of 26. Luckily we get an automatic 6 points of expertise skill from Vitality - Spell - World of Warcraft.
