I'm already shifting my gear around now to pull up agi over str based on the advice in this thread.
Don't bust your *** or spend good gold to do that, though...with a contribution of 2 AP per point, strength is still a totally solid stat for ferals and you'll level through gear pretty quickly thanks to the 2.3 leveling acceleration. I'd just go forward thinking of agility>strength as your golden stats in cat and stamina>agility as your golden stats in bear. And...since you're on a PvP server, don't be shy about stacking stam in your cat set like teacake said. The "of the Bandit" rogue gear rocks for cat soloing with it's agility, AP, and stam.

However, just to be clear I should still keep my strength gear for bear tanking, right?
You need respectable AP of course, but between the 30% threat boost of the form itself, the 15% threat-boost of Feral Instinct, and the threat bonuses of our attacks (175% of damage for Maul, for example) we rarely have trouble holding mobs and don't need to be pouring out lots of damage to keep them stuck to us. Agility increases crit % which helps with dps of course, but also with rage generation (with Primal Fury talent), and self-healing (with Improved Leader of the Pack). And on the defensive side of the ball it helps avoidance by increasing dodge %.

Well, sorry for the long story, just felt like sharing it and you'll probably see me pop on here every now and then with some more questions.
Please do, if only to get your sig some more airtime...that line cracks me up every time. I'm gonna type it up nice and big, print it out, and tape it to the door to my office at work.
