When you need more Stamina.
I.e. when you tanking fight with unavoidable flat damage.

This
ie. cheap &*!@ing fights becuse blizzard doesnt know what the hell they are doing (-20% dodge in ICC? morons).
PS. You should consider putting Delicate Cardinal Ruby instead of pure dodge. AC+Agidodge gives you nearly as much pure mitigation as a dodge gem (we are talking 97% as much), and as a bonus gives you more crit.

Alright so I have 34,664 HP with Sanc, and 25.51% dodge, when should I gem Stam over Dodge?
34.6k HP is low even with Sanc. you should expect raid buffed to be well over 40k to even consider going into ToC. The problem is that combination hits will be insta-kill for you if you're not meeting the mark for Damage. Even just on the first fight:
Gormok Hits you for 20k
Impale Hits you for 12k
Followed up shortly by
Gormok Hits you for 20k
if you're not at 100% HP at that point then you're toast. RNG can be a biatch.

To a point it does.
But then you can go to their forums and hear the same thing "It kinda depends on your tank".

there's a big difference between 35k UNBUFFED vs 34.6k WITH SANC.
edit: tanks that use 2x Stamina trinkets must be severely lacking in one department or another. This "cover-up" makes your healers go O.o

And if you want to pick on me because I hate tanks (not as much druids but yeah...) that wear double Brewfest trinkets and I have my JC trinket, then at least think about this: At least the JC trinket has a nice on-use effect that adds dodge rating (which does suffer from DR). The Brewfest trinkets have nothing useful like that.
If they arnt fighting a boss that has unavoidable attacks, you can rightly "hate" them for dual BF stam trinks.
But if they are in TOC10/25 then what is the -stam +dodge doing for them?

Why do I get the feeling there are more tanks in this thread using

on non-gimmick raid bosses (H Anub add tanking is a gimmick) than there should be?

You have about 1% more dodge, 1% more parry, and 4% more block than me, while I have about 4.1k more health. I think the brewfest trinks are fine. Especially in ToC where EH is king.
This (the black heart is good too). I think some people care more about gear score than staying alive. Stamina is king.
