I would say that there a far more reasons to not cap expertise than there is to cap expertise. Active mitigation model depends on HoPo generation. Haste give you more HoPo generation than Expertise (unless you are sitting on very high haste and very low expertise). Haste also gives you higher dps, hps and more sacred shield absorbs. I would trade that any day for the "reliablity" of expertise. Insert clever HoPo banking and suddenly expertise does not even give you reliablity.
So basically, if you can play paladin tank properly, going for expertise hard cap is trading nothing at all for dps, hps, SS ticks and HoPo regen. That is a no-brainer if you ask me.
I really dont understand why so many people are so hellbent on capping expertise. If you want to do it, fine, but dont try to convince everyone else that it is the only way. Capping expertise is viable, and probably optimal if you play badly. However if you play well it will be sub-par.
I have not been expertise capped since beta, and I do not intend to be until I can get expertise cap without sacrificing haste.
