Hey, cheers for the guide firstly. I do find it a tad we bit confusing, think that a appendix or some sort of list of what the abreviations mean would have helped. Took me a while to work out RE, RC etc..
Right down to the nitty gritty, due to the lack of tanks and options for tanking I decided to offer to switch to my DK as the OT for or raid. We are not a hardcore group but are currently being held back by the lack of tanking option + replacements on our server. I have tanked in the past to fill in when previous OT have taken breaks and quit and such, however that was on a paladin.The MT is currently a pala, so it would lead to more problems in the future etc. We are currently trying to progress in MSV HC, and I think we out gear many of the fights we are trying, it's just the state of lack of members available that is holding us back hence the change (sorry to beat about the bush).
Ok here is the armory of my character, http://http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/terenas/Arison/simple so you can see where I am coming from.
First question is what is the "stamina cap" everything wants me to gem stamina. I understand that I can be hit more and as a result (from my understanding) I get more vengance that will result in bigger Death Strikes which result in more healing. So what would you recomend I should be aiming at Stamina wise before I go back to Prioritising Mastery?
Another question is why do they recomend Swordshattering over Stoneskin runeforge? If I am being told that I need Stamina>Mastery>HIt/Exp>Avoidance stats (as they work different now), then would I not be better off with Stoneskin?
I am going to try Tanking out tonight now to see how it goes and there is no real pressure for now, are there any other good guides or opinions. I know for mage I go through a lot of forums/guides/sites but some of the posters on MMO have given me the best advice on their posts. Hence why I came here.
Ignore BS not being maxed yet, I just droped herbalisum for it hence why it looks noobish.
