It's for the hard modes only. Tanks are healable without it, but it puts a huge strain on the healers. With that gear, the add tank will take almost trivial damage, making things much easier for the healers.

The point is that on Anub adds, the debuff multiplier to their damage is applied after the block, meaning if they hit you for 3k and you block 2k9, then you'll only be hit by 100*multiplier, ie quite trivial.
This requires you to be able to avoid/block all their hits (else there'll be random spikes) and is the reason why it's nice to reach the 101.6% mark.

Waves of adds? Your probably refering to heroic version or 25man? Granted ive only done it in tenman norm and there are just 1 sometimes 2 adds you tank. You pick them up, drag them over to the boss and kill them while using cleaves instead of HS (to add some dps on Anub, and also be able to stack up devastates on anub without having to run so far)
Block value is nice for this, any stat that makes you able to kill stuff faster while still being somewhat healable at the same time is good.
And the small adds you dont really tank, you stun, kite and burst.
I think im logged out in a gearset that is great for toc10n anub offtank (im very much hittable in that...i know i would definitively hit it )

trying to figure out a gear set to strive for in regards to become unhittable as warrior tank...im at 25/25/20 and can't seem to figure out how to add another 20%...would changing 10 sockets from non stam to agi/def/whatever be enough?

I'll try and remember offhand what gear I'm using.
T8 helm
Necklace of Unerring Mettle
Burdened Shoulderplates
Cloak of the Iron Council
Unbreakable Chestguard
Bindings of Hapless Prey
Handguards of the Enclave
Dragonslayer's Brace
Wyrmguard Legplates
Dawnbreaker's Greaves
(These ended up being more avoidance than the BR/BV ones)
Band of the Traitor King
Signet of the Earthshaker
Onyxia Trinket
Lavanthor's Talisman
Crystal Plated Vanguard
Sorthalis
Blades of the Sable Cross
In every yellow socket I used 20 defense gems. In every red socket I used 10 Dodge/10 Defense gems. I think I used 10 Defense/ 15 Stamina in blue sockets I needed. I used the Defense and Block Value meta and Defense enchants on Chest and Cloak (kept 18 stamina on Shield since it was my normal shield).
I ended up being at about 103.5% avoidance+block with all of that. Roughly it was 20 dodge, 20 parry, 50 block, and 10 miss. I can't log in at the moment or I'd check my exact gear for you.
All through the previous raiding tiers I was always diligent in picking up my "offset" block rating and block value gear and keeping it all. I'm glad I did.
To get unhittable, you really can not rely on your normal gear much at all. Weapon, Shield, Thrown, and a Ring are my only "normal" tanking items in my unhittable set. Everything else is tailor made just for tanking hard mode Anub.
