Just got the Mantle of Malorne shoulders and wonder what I should socket the gem slots with (two Blue sockets, gives +3 crit rating)
Obvious options:
+8 agil (red)
+12 stam (blue)
+4 agil / +6 stam (red & blue)
Assuming that I'm tanking half the time, DPS'ing half the time, and have 73% armor mitigation with 30% dodge...
...actually, I think I just answered my own question. Tanking is more important, my extra DPS won't really change the outcome of a fight but having 250ish more hp might.
...actually, maybe it won't. Hmm.
So yeah. Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the +12 stam gems

I gemmed mine with 12sta's and used dps shoulder enchant, instead of def.
I think you have enough dodge, so if you are def capped already (I assume you are) go with the +12 stam, only ~50g each, and enchant with whatever you need after that. The bonus isn't really great for tanking.
I'd probably go with the 4agi, 6 st. That way you kinda get the best of the gems. You get some agi to help with dps and dodge and crit, you still get about 120hp and since it counts as a blue gem you will get your gem bonus.
I happened to receive the shoulders from either Shade or Chess (the rogue ones, don't remember exactly what they're called) which I calculated out to remain a better choice for my cat set. As a result I use my T4 shoulders solely with my tank gear and gemmed it for 24 stam and used a defense/dodge rating enchant.
However, if they are an upgrade for both sets of gear, by all means use the 4 agi/6 stam gems and a DPS enchant.

You have at least 2 piece Malorne somewhere else? Since 2 set bonus is superior to almost anything else for dps.
Yes I failed to mention that I already have the T4 gloves and helmet.
Go with the two blue +12 STAM - you'll be tanking more often then not so might as well have the health.
