So... Does blizzard plan to add a stamina gem to the game, or do the tanks are left with nothing? Seriously, there is no use for me in any of the gems they are willing to give. Kinda sucks.

My name is Cernunnos, I will love you like no other, I have died a thousand deaths, each time I died I thought of you.
Atleast they could give mastery gem, but oh well, atleast your offspecc can be boosted:}
STR gives parry...
If you are a warrior or a paladin, your damage and some of your defensive abilities scale with strength. Same with monks and druids with agility. You have nothing to complain about here.
Hell, even if a stamina gem were offered, I'd still use strength.

For war tanks, the str one sucks so bad that their BiS is NOT the sha touched wep.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke.
Extract from the prot warrior guide in this forum:
"Strength and Stamina
Stamina and Strength are our two primary stats (all the others being secondary stats).
Strength will increase your attack power and thus your DPS. It also increases your parry chance, but you shouldn’t try to stack it, as the increasing rate is too slim (at lvl-90). Usually, you can ignore this stat, as you’ll always have enough of it on your plate gear.
Stamina increases your health, and allow you to take more damage before your HP reaches zero and you die. It is good against magical damage, because our other defensive stats (except for Hit and Expertise) have no effect on those. Usually, however, you already have enough on your base gear, and so shouldn’t try to stack it any higher.
This may not be the case, if you’re a bit under-geared for a particular content. In that case, stacking a little bit of Stamina can be very helpful to avoid getting 2 shot."
Pretty much sums it up in a simplistic way. Strength is not useless.

From the #1 Cata review on Amazon.com: "Blizzard's greatest misstep was blaming players instead of admitting their mistakes.
They've convinced half of the population that the other half are unskilled whiners, causing a permanent rift in the community."
