How can anyone argue that once you are over the soft expertise cap (26), that expertise is still better than hit.... when you're UNDER hit cap?
vs. lvl 83 raid boss, increasing expertise over 26 will reduce their parry chance which effectively increases your chance to hit. This would make it equal to increasing your hit chance if you are below the hit cap of 8%. Now, by reducing the boss's parry chance, it reduces the chance for parry-haste which is basically increasing your survivability. Thus, expertise is still better then hit all the way up to the expertise hard cap of 56. This is why you see top notch tanks like Porcell and Kungen with high expertise and below hit cap.
From what i read in blue posts so called "parry-gib" or "parry-haste" mechanics is no longer present on hard hitting raid bosses.
Parry Haste can be disabled, yes, but only on certain bosses. Patchwerk and Gormok specifically are known to have the parry haste turned off, and most of the bosses in the old Sunwell raid.
However, the majority of bosses still have parry haste, and expertise over the soft cap is still very good for tanks.
