Ive been checking this out a lot, but theres a lot of variance in the places ive checked out.

Iam looking what combination of stats [in what priority] warriors need at different stages of raid development.

For tanking and as fury.

Like when they become uncrushable and uncritable. Damage avoidance requirement like block, parry, dodge.

And just the general stat requirements one would need for say. Kara level - first 25 mans [gruul and mag] - ZA [not the last 2 bosses though]?

I'm not too sure on tanking, I know you NEED 490 defense to be uncrittable, and I know the tanks in my guild when tanking Kara are over 500 defense.

For DPS, which I am, I started Kara with 9% to hit (around 145ish) about 28-30% crit percentage, 1600 AP, and like 9k-10k health, with about 9.5k armor. This is all while DW-ing. That should get you in the top 3 for damage, and probably about 500ish DPS.

After you clear Kara, your stats will improve with some of the gear drops, and will scale accordingly with the level of raids you are doing.

Take what I say with a grain of salt since my info is strictly from being a forum-fiend and spend way too much learning about everyones roles in groups...

roughly 12-13k hp, at least 490 def though why people choose more than that I don't know why...your avoidance comes from the sum of block,dodge and parry combined and only matters in boss fights and should be 102.4 with shield block up...if your specc'd right then your talents should take care of everything that shield block doesn't when it comes to crushing blows...praise whatever diety you believe in for setting you on the path of warrior tanking and not paladin...the armor that you need starting out I don't really know i'm guessing somewhere in the 13-15k range but that's honestly just a guess.

To move into gruuls and beyond your HP and Armor need to increase, I know that my old guild for example wouldn't let anyone attempt tanking in gruuls or beyond with less than 14k hp...

Hope it helps and good luck =)

edit: i r not teh good at spellingz

Even though I'm prot specced now on my Warrior I'll jump in on the Fury part of your question.

Unless you're going all pvp gear, you're stamina is gonna be pretty low throughout until you get some GOOD raiding gear so look forward to that. Low stamina, even as a dps, is bad. Especially a melee dps with Whirlwind and Sweeping Strikes.

I did alot of research on this long ago so I don't have any direct links other than the stickeys on this site. What you're going to want to be ready for kara is around 1800 attack power selfbuffed and I would say about 24-25% crit. It might even be below what you'll need. That is easily accessible through some Ragesteel pieces with some dungeon blues and pvp gear.

For weapons I would go Vindicator's Brand for main hand and Gladiator's Hacker for off hand. If you're not Aldor, you could always get the Gladiator's Cleaver instead. Hope it helped.
