Sam, may I ask, how was your hit percentage in the Ignis fight. Your hitting off some nice DPS output from WWS, but for this to be compltely viable to all newly raiding tanks who don't understand the term "hit rating" is there a recommended amount?
I know that your guild must be happy for you to be allowed to test whilst raiding, not all of us get that chance (<.< Innactivity :D)
The main point of the question is that, without a minimum percentage of hit rating, would your specials not hitting so much to gimp your threat be dependant on gear, or can you drop avoidance gems for hit? (Obliterate, Blood strike, frost strike, plague), I say plague, purely because you use it in your rotation to keep both diseases up, thus making it reasonabley important otherwise I wouldn't count it.
Also, it's late for me, and can't be arsed to check, Rune strike affected by hit? I've read the tooltip quickly and it only refers to block, dodge and parry.
Also, does the same expertise rating account to any of these?
Sorry Sam for all the questions,
Akzle (Using my brothers wowhead account, gaystalker is pro)
Edit: Crap wording of a question.

Well for me...
Build:
10/52/9
Weapons:
Axe of the Sen'Jin Protector
x2
Weapon Enchants:
Rune of Swordbreaking
x2
Alright I know the statement about not taking IIT, but as unluck (or luck in the sense of gear) would have it, my raids that I'm in generally don't have any dk's at all.
Single Target Rotation: D&D, IT, PS, BS, OB, BS, IT, PS, OB, OB, IT, OB, BS, BS. Throwing in howling blasts, Frost strikes and rune strikes as I get the procs and/or runic power for.
My original multi target rotation was: D&D, IT, PS, Pest, HB, BB, once again throwing in frost strikes and rune strikes as they came. Oddly enough however, I kind of ran into an issue the other day in heroic UP. I was having threat issues, not because they were over taking me on threat on the target I was on but because they were killing things so fast my rune cool down couldn't keep up =P. I've then had to adjust to: D&D, HB, BB, IT, PS, Pest and that seems to have taken care of it for now =P.
Raiding for me has been naxx 10, naxx 25, ulduar 10 and both VoA's. I've been in Onyxia, but have not successfully dropped her because each time the person that organized the raid messed up on raid design. The most recent was not enough healers and people deciding that deep breath was a spa...
