I can make calculations at some point, but I need some meaningful values for what a badge / T5 / Hyjal tank looks like on PTR.
It might be competitive when you consider that STR is now 0.5 SBV per point. SBV used to be better than STR for pure threat. Since then STR gains:
over 10x more SBV
~15% more damage on devastate, Shield slam and heroic strike than it used to (due to talents that increase crit% on those abilities by 15%.)
My gut is that armored is going to be the better choice.
Anyone have a prot warrior on the PTR with decent gear? I need:
SBV
AP
STR
Armor
I was going to calc using Unbreakable Will as the weapon since this should be pretty "baseline" right now.
I can't use my warrior, because his tanking gear is Kara epics mixed with S4 gear. He has like 1500 AP and 20% crit in his tanking gear... on live =P. Not exactly representative.
