If you’re BWL tanking, you really should be getting 305 weapon skill. Either from Edgemaster or from one of the +dagger items.
Once you have 305 weapon skill, you only need 6% hit to cap.
DFT definitely helps, but isn’t essential to get to 6%. My ideal item comp would likely not include it at all, because Lifegiving Gem and Styleen’s are both awesome trinkets to have. You can get your 6% hit from:
- Accuria (2%)
- Onslaught girdle (1%)
- Chromatic boots (1%)
- Striker’s mark (1%)
- Ony tooth… or any other gear… to get that last 1%
Once AQ40 comes out, there will be even more options to get hit as well.
DFT is great, but I wouldn’t include it in my ideal tank gear.
P.S. Nothing wrong with “necroing” a 3 month old thread, if it perfectly matches the topic being discussed. That’s exactly how sites like StackOverflow/StackExchange work, and they’re heaps better than the WoW forums dumpster fire
