i'd say if your DW frost and doing toc/togc or higher then yeah it's kind of important. if your 2hand tanking then no it's not as important.

In heroics, it's not much of an issue. In raids, yeah it is. I recommend any tank to be hit/expertise capped before tryin to tank raid level bosses.

WRONG! for a DK, hit cap and expertise cap is the same for both DW and 2H (thanks for threat of the thassarian) unless u are actually planning to cap for your autoattacks and that would be an absolute waste of stats
Actually, the hit cap for a dualwielding frostie is lower than a 2h, thanks to the 3% hit gained while dualwielding.
5% hit, 26 expertise are the numbers to aim for. Actually having them isn't particularly important to begin with, but they're important from a threat output perspective. While having more hit and expertise than that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's somewhat wasted and you'd be better off getting other stats.
i love how you people read things somewhere and then suddenly think your geniuses. If you've tried tanking toc non-hit/exp capped with a 2hander it's really a non-issue unless your way under the cap. But if your under the hit/exp cap for DW and that's counting the +3% from the talent...then your gonna have issues. Your skills will hit less equaling less threat and your auto attacks will be worse. unless your dps is around 2-3k then whatever but when you have 6-7k dps then your screwed. if you've ever tanked in dw frost it's threat sucks compared to 2hand.
and fyi hit cap with talents or without is still the same number 8%. you just need less from your gear/enchants/gems. but from personal experience it's far more important to be hit/exp capped as dw

You can keep threat fine in heroics under 8% hit because 8% is the
raid
hit cap for mobs 3 levels above you. Mobs in heroics require less hit and expertise for the cap which is why you have no troubles what so ever there.
I'm not ceratin about the hit required for heroics alone, but I'd still aim for the 8% in the strong possibility that you do a raid, because if you aren't hit capped it is a MAJOR loss in threat.
RS is how we hold our threat and if it misses even once thats wasted RP and a good 20k threat gone, giving that warlock rogue or hunter in seconds a good chance to lap you in TPS.
If its heroics and your barely 8% don't worry, if its raids you better hope your DPS is bad and cant out threat you.
