It is pretty annoying how little hit there is on the new gear, but I haven't found it to be a serious impediment to my tanking yet. That said, I do keep a few older pieces of hit gear in my bags for fights I think I might need it.

What are you tanking specifically that you feel the need to gem hit? My guild is working on ToC hardmodes, and I don't feel like I have any room to gem for anything but stam for things like Gormok on heroic ToC25. I actually had to talk to our rogues about giving me tricks instead of spamming each other with it :(

Hit is more "nifty" than "must" for tanking. It sounds VERY important but honestly, I've never once focused on hit in any way and I am a pretty fantastic tank. If I focused on Hit more, it'd only hinder me. Just let the hit come with the gear and if you lose some, hope you have a Draenei lol.

The lack of hit is going to make glyph of righteous defense more important, but in general you shouldn't need a lot of hit. Personally i like to have more than 200, but its not always possible as you are giving up avoidance/EH itemization for an increase in threat and more reliable pickups.

Get the taunt glyph and all you have to worry about is the /lols you get from guildies everytime you run to pull a boss and miss with your Avenger's Shield. They need a glyph that makes Avenger's Shield invisible when it misses >.<
