Expertise or hit rating??Follow

According to WoWwiki,your hitrating in catform needs to be 142 (9% )to reach the cap

Now "Each point of expertise reduces the chance for your attacks to be dodged or parried by 0.25%." <-- also from wowwiki...


Personally I would go for the increased hitrating first...because if u cant hit it,their chances of dodge and parry are irrelevant anyway :)

my answer may have been a wee bit unclear methinks :)

What I meant to say was; even if the mobs chance to dodgy/parry your attack is 0,without capped hitrating you will still miss = much less dps.

Table would look something like this ,as I understand it:

capped expertise (if possible,don't know about that one..):

5% chance to miss (9% on a level 73 bossman)
0% chance to be dodged
0% chance to be parried (if applicable)
5% chance to be blocked (if applicable)
X% Crit (Your crit chance)
Whatever is left regular hit



capped hitrating:

0% chance to miss
5% chance to be dodged
5% chance to be parried (if applicable)
5% chance to be blocked (if applicable)
X% Crit (Your crit chance)
Whatever is left regular hit




Now,if I am wrong about this,I apologize,and offer myself up to be shamed and pointed at :D
'

Now,as to which of these scenarios would yield the highest dps is for some mathgenious to figure out,since that sort of thing aint my bag ,baby ;)

edit:

After reading my own reply,I realize that the two are infact more or less the same,since a dodged or parried attack does infact do about as much damage as a miss ....which is zero :D

/bow to the Skribs for showing me the error of my ways :)
