Actually, however, there are some gear recommendations in the new Prot guide on EJ that center around using DPS plate with agility in place of defense gear to increase threat.

Errrr, no. There's a single gear suggestion, thrown in at the end of the gear section, that suggests using dps plate with otherwise useful tanking stats as part of a threat set. The focus is by necessity on strength, hit, and expertise much more than agility.
Why? Because there's only one piece of epic dps plate with agility on it in the entirety of WotLK. It drops in H Occulus and won't be particularly valuable in terms of threat with 3.2 out. I can simply spend the badges from heroics on the Gauntlets of the Royal Watch, then throw in a threat trinket in the slot he's suggesting for the Repelling Charge and do better both in survivability and threat - and it's easier to accumulate.
That he brings it it up only a few paragraphs after a discussion of specialized trinkets, including Grim Toll (as the example is for a hit capped set) is puzzling.
