Thats right
Agility also works well, with kings you aren't losing much dodge, and you also get some armour and crit. Expertise is also a good choice if you're low.

ok my DK tank i normally don't even worry about the gem bonus... i usually just go ahead and put in a solid zircon into the gear and get usually 5 to 10 more stamina then what i would even get in the first place, unless of course i need the stats in something else because of new gear or a nerf.
and in case your wondering this is my tank XD

TLDR Summary
In Icecrown Citadel:
* Each point of Agility is 83% as effective as a point of dodge rating for avoidance. (i.e. 10 AGI ~ 8.31 Dodge rating)
* Each point of Agility is around 4% more effective at reducing average incoming damage as a point of dodge rating
* Each point of Agility also gives you almost 1 pont of critical strike rating.
* In general, if you're going to match a red socket for Icecrown progression, use an Agility/Stam gem rather than a Dodge/Stam.
* If you're at or above the armorcap, agility drops back down to 83% the damage reduction of an avoidance gem, with no added survivability benefit.
Outside of Icecrown:
* Each point of Agi is still 83% as effective for avoidance, but is now only 98% as effective as dodge rating for reducing incoming damage. Still a worthwhile trade though, since it gives you some of that reduction in the form of EH, and gives you threat as well.
