Is hard expertise cap worth it?

After the soft expertise cap, hit becomes the more attractive stat (since it affects all your abilities and spells (including RS), not only your strikes).
When it comes to Socketing/gearing for tps I'd say it's great that you've got tons of expertise and hit, but you ought to find a balance where you're able to hold aggro well without having your hp/avoidance suffer from it.
Since you mention you've been sacrificing dodge for parry rating it sounds as if you're favouring tps stats over avoidance stats by a large amount.
Basically, aim for a "balance" when it comes to your gear, dont focus bluntly on one stat at the expense of others.

When it comes to blood and unholy tanking, expertise is slightly more valuble than hit as opposed to a "spell heavy" frost tank, due to large chunks of your tps mainly coming from Strikes (HS and SS) as opposed to Frost which uses IT, RS, HB and RS for threat (alot of abilities that can only miss, not be parried/dodged)
Well I can't really say the ideal balance of stats because, well, it's close to improssible to know.
But personally I rarely socket/enchant/gear for tps since it's not really an issue for me. I tend to get by picking up things with tps increasing stats as I progress.
One way to check this however is to take a peek at the Threat meters and check just how close the dpsers are to your threat. If you find yourself never having any problems with tps, even flooded at some points, then you may want to go for a bit more defensive itemization. (Because from your descriptions, it sounds as if you should have plenty of hate from the mobs :))
