Ello,
I'm trying to get block-cap, ~95% avoidance atm. I have emblems enough to get the dodge trinket (+84dodge rating) but wondering if 84dodge rating is better than 81sta?
My current stats:
27k hp
~20.50% dodge
~16.50% parry
~14.50% block

Probably...
You can safely drop to about 25k HP and you'll still be in a position to steam-roll things. Only real reason to have MORE than 25k HP BEFORE you block-cap is if you run Patchwerk25 with only 1 Hateful Strike tank.
Yea -- block capping is all that. The trinket adds 2.13% Dodge and 8.51% for the Use effect. Do you have Lavanthor's Talisman from Heroic VH yet? It adds 4.51% Block and a ton of Block Value for it's use effect. Running both trinkets together can net you over 6.5% to Block Capping (ignoring Diminishing Returns of course).
What you lack most in there is Block it looks like. You'd expect someone who is Block Capped with the gear available to be over 20% Block, it'll be hard to get there pushing more Dodge.

ahh.. I thought block capped meant = 102.4% avoidance, and not 102.4%avoidance with ~20%block.. nope, I dont have the trinket from VH heroic :(
It's 102.4% combined Block + Avoidence (with Holy Shield up).
With the gear that's available now, it's hard to do it will less than ~20% Block. Especially with Diminishing Returns. Even at the end of TBC when Dodge was becoming overwhelming (although to be fair, Sunwell Radiance kicked the #($* out of Dodge, so it was needed) Block accounted for well over 16 or 17% of a tank's block+avoidence as a minimum. To reach 102.4 back then to START raiding you usually needed ~25%ish from Block.

ahh I see, thanks a lot :D
So 25K health is good enough for raiding with? I just want to make sure I should drop from 27K health to add avoidance. I worry about taking the big hits but not so much mitigating the small ones.
25k is enough to handle any content currently in the game (with other stats balanced of course). In fact, 25k is enough to steamroll any of the 10 man content. For a Paladin, the ideal/perfect/best HP with the best gear available right now is probably 28.5k while Block Capped with a healthy amount of Dodge. That of course means repeated clearing of all of the 25 man raids though.
