What cogwheel gems would be best for tanking with this headpiece. Obviously the +208 Parry Rating, but for the second should I go for the +208 Dodge, or +208 Mastery?

Mastery for a Warrior.
Err... oops - if you're a warrior... Then this applies, like Sebadoh says.
It's not obviously 208 parry. It's obvious 208 Mastery.
Then, based on your other gear, dodge or parry. What I'm finding is I have a lot more parry than dodge because of my strength - so you might even find to keep dodge within roughly 2.5%, you need the dodge cogwheel.
What class tank are you?
Mastery and dodge. :)Quote:

If you have 14% parry and 8% dodge you're going to have less survivability than if you have 12% parry and 10% dodge. You want to try to keep dodge about 2-3% lower than parry to maintain the balance between HtL's benefit and the increased parry diminishing returns.Quote:

Thanks guys, I went with dodge and mastery, putting dodge at 11ish and parry at 12ish and mastery around 43. Another question I have is (beware nub question) why build ip mastery so much if at 40% and 60% my damage blocked is staying at 30%? BTW I'm a Warr tank. Despite what anyone says I'm loving the Warrior tank. it takes a lot to steal my aggro :p
More mastery makes you block more OFTEN. The more oftne you block the more often you reduce the incoming melee damage by 30% on a normal block and 60% on a crit block.
