The difference between Cat & Bear gear?

I have been trying to put together a Bear set for my Resto Druid. I don't quite get the difference between Tank & DPS leather, they all have the same stats. In my leather, mostly 219-232 my bear only has 33K unbuffed. No armory available, im at work. Am I simply using the wrong leather?

Good luck finding Leather items with Strength then.
Bears like these stats, in about this order:
Stamina > Armor > Agility > Expertise up to 26 > Hit (never more than 263) > Dodge Rating + Defense Rating > Haste + Crit rating + Strength > Armor Penetration
They benefit from all of these. Some of them you will only find on non-leather jewelery (armor, strength, dodge and defense). Bears generally like leather items that have more stamina than what they currently have.

So basically my
Chewed Leather Wristguards
are ideal for tanking with 40 stam on them even though they have very low stam compared to the lesser
Bindings of the Tunneler
? This is just a rough example to help me get the big picture.
Edit: Not to ninja my own thread but at this stage what is the prefered weapon enchant? Mongoose, 35 Agi, 110 AP?

edit: yes the purpl wrists are better.
For DPS it is Berserkering. When your gear is very good, Moongoose gets a tiny bit better than Berserkering. At least i think it works this way.
For tanking, Moongoose is the best.

KK, thank you guys, I do appreciate it. I will slap mongoose on my
Orca-Hunter's Harpoon
with a 30 stam gem and give it a rip. Still new to feral tanking, many more questions to come.
Edit: I new the 232 Bracers were better but what I was wondering if there was another pair of bracers with higher stam and less "dps" stats would they be better? Say like
Bracers of Swift Death
would be more for tanking?

Bracers of SD are teh sex for tanking. I am still using them.

Then you haven't had
Toskk's bracers
drop yet, they are a straight upgrade over the bracers of SD.
That said, bracers of SD are excellent for both tanking and dps (Toskk's bracers as well for that matter). A prime example of a piece of gear that is only better for 1 type if it's gemmed / chanted differently.

In our guild, there's tank prio. Pretty handy I must say, no rogues nabbing mah stuffs!
Although I sometimes pass on tank prio, depends how much of an upgrade it really is, and how essential for future upgrades (damn gunship sack of crapwonders, still eluding me).

The tank priority is only useful when you have undergeared tanks imo. I could probably tank the entire ICC with the gear i had from 3.2, so there is no need for the guild to prioritize me, or any other tank in that matter.
But if i could get a priority on the vanquisher marks, wohoo, i surely wouldnt mind...

only had tank prio on the first mark, after that it was back to the dkp basics :) Haven't rolled for a mark ever since I got my first one, I'd reckon I would let my dear guildies have some stuff too once in a while xD
