imo if you need class imbalance to "make things work" then you are doing something wrong.
Make both a DK and a warrior on the PTR. Test them out, see which you like better and stick with it.

rmb stoneskin gargoyle on DK weapon
Bears and DKs come with 2x stam trinkets while paladins and warriors come with +stam/+armor set.

Melee weapon enchant wise you are stuck with the agi to 2handers, which is relatively cheap to get.

On beta to get full hit+expertise you pretty much need to reforge a lot of tank gears or simply wear dps gears.
3% avoidance is worth ~+4.5% hit/expertise. Assume you are no longer wearing...

You can swap trinkets in between fights much easier and cheaper than reforging. You can sac your hit/exp for avoidance via reforging but unless you have multiple sets of gears (usually come @farm)...

I once posted on beta forums that they should give worgans the unarmored horse set - they already have the models from vanilla but added armor.

How fun will it be if alliance gets a dog... errr......

You don't survive chimaeron's double attack via EH. One hit from the boss does ~145k damage (after armor). The buff from the bot saves you from the 2nd hit.
I would actually argue chimaeron as a...

Still gemming for stam.
On bonus:
1 socket = 15 stam
2 socket = 30 stam

So let say you have a yellow + blue socket with 30 stam bonus there is no reason to not put a 20 mastery+30 stam in the...

Worth taking in lv85 because when it "works" (ie: tron, OTing @ alchemist, halfus to a point...) its a pretty good threat talent, other wise it can be very useless.

12.49 dodge
12.33 parry
40.53 block
+1666 mastery (+9.25) @+21% block, 43% crit block.

->

12.49 dodge
12.33 parry
45.41 block

- Base chance to block is 20% (5%+15% from prot spec sentinel skill)
- You come with 8 mastery from the mastery skill you prob already have on live.
(8+9.25)*2.5=~43%

I had trouble holding threat the 1st 20 seconds w/o rogue/hunters on the twin dragons in bastion, then I feel that I can go afk once I get that huge stack of vengeance.

BnT is really nice when mobs are somewhat more "durable".
Also remember there is no AoE cap to BnT!

A smart inner rage that falls off when we hit below 25 rage, that doesn't work with cleave and heroic strike or any non-damaging abilities would be nice....

I am always afraid that inner rage...
